PCR Test Requirement May Increase to 3 Times a Month, Every 10 Days: 'Jradouy'

'Jradouy' newspaper reports that the rise in COVID-19-related deaths and insufficient vaccination rates may force authorities to take more drastic measures. We have received information that the mandatory testing period, currently set at 14 days, may be reduced to 10 days, which means that citizens who have not yet been vaccinated might need to undergo testing three times a month.

This suggests that if unvaccinated citizens had hoped to avoid vaccination by simply taking a test every 14 days, they would now be required to test every 10 days instead.

Significant fines are planned for employees who do not undergo mandatory testing, and repeated violations could lead to criminal prosecution. When we inquired about how such widespread information would be monitored, it was communicated that security agencies would assist, bringing their technical resources to bear.

We were assured that there would be no legal issues since the public danger of being infected and spreading the virus obligates the state to take strong measures.

According to information from diplomatic channels, several Western countries have indicated that their governments are preparing to impose blacklists on countries unable to ensure a certain percentage of vaccinations. Such blacklists could lead to entry bans and various financial and economic restrictions.

The ongoing pandemic has effectively placed authorities in front of a dilemma: on one hand, the increasing number of deaths and the high demand for treatment, and on the other, the potential danger of closed borders.
