translated from Spanish: They warn about sale of apocryphal tests of Covid-19 in Morelia

Morelia, Michoacán.- Businesses outside pharmacies, sale of medical equipment or clinics market in Michoacan rapid tests to detect Covid-19, which do not guarantee a reliable result, warned Mayra Mercado, a surgeon and member of the College of Physicians of Michoacan.
In a press conference, the specialist said that some of these businesses are: grocery stores or news outlets, which presumably do not have certification from the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris), have for sale different diagnostic tests of Covid-19 that do not ensure a reliable result to patients and their families.
Mercado pointed out that the College of Physicians of Michoacán has monitored the points of sale of diagnostic tests for Covid-19 and have found establishments, such as beauty and aesthetic clinics that offer them, spaces that “reasonably” are not certified to provide these services.
In that regard, he said that only clinical studies and chains some pharmacies have the authorization to perform the tests and recalled that in the case of the antigen test, a PCR test has to be performed to rule out or completely affirm if someone suffers from covid-19.
