The government's strict policy with testing for Covid 19 has created a new market, which is morally truncated, economically inefficient and in terms of public health dangerous. This is the market for testing in hospitals and private laboratories against out-of-pocket payment. In recent days, thousands of Albanians are being forced to pay 100 euros privately to perform the molecular test of the virus. Practically, this payment constitutes a pure private tax, which is unfair, dishonest and extortionate. First, the vast majority of those who take the test in private are forced. Thousands of stranded immigrants, who must return to the countries where they live and work, must have the molecular test for Covid with them.
In the conditions when the government does not Cambodia WhatsApp Number Data offer it, then the only solution they have is to pay 100 euros to perform the test privately. Second, this is a tax on life. It is now publicly proven that the public health institute does not even track close contacts with affected persons, including even family members. Consequently, many of these citizens, who are facing the obvious risk of infection, will be forced to take the test in private, paying out of pocket.

Now, public authorities have the incentive to make free testing even more difficult by referring citizens suspected of being affected to private clinics. But some of them may not be able to afford the payment out of pocket. Consequently, even though these people may be infected, they will not take the test, risking becoming super spreaders of the virus. Without mentioning here the other obvious risk that private tests can distort the statistics for the progress of the pandemic. In many aspects, public health is a service similar to national defense. Even the prime minister himself calls the pandemic a war, while the virus is an enemy.
