Albanian pulmonologist doctor Arjan Mezini said in an online conversation with President Ilir Meta that the number of tests should be increased significantly to stop the Covid -19 infections chain.

Dr. Mezini rejected claims that innumerous tests do not yield results and can make the situation go out of control like in the European countries, saying those countries would be a mess hadn’t they had stopped the infections chain.

He added “nearly 8000 tests per day are need in our country, which is the only way to manage the pandemic”. He also said that knowing the real number of the infected persons would help the health system to deal better with the pandemic and manage the hospital capacities.
