A resident of Baranavichy with symptoms of Covid-19 got sick leave only on the third try. They also wanted to send his colleague to work without waiting for the test result, the "Basta!" telegram channel reports.

"A colleague was treating bronchitis in the hospital, - the resident of the town writes. - When they discharged him, they tested him for Covid-19 and closed his sick leave, saying to go to work. Since he didn't feel very well and had shortness of breath, by fair means or foul, he made the head of the polyclinic give him a sick leave until the test came. The result was that the infection was confirmed. The man is in isolation at home, waiting for the second result. Or else he could go to work and infect everyone.

I'm on sick leave myself, which was given on the third try, when the second x-ray showed pneumonia. My temperature is not high, my sense of smell has disappeared, I have refused to go to the hospital, and I think that there are no beds there anyway. I have been on treatment for two weeks, and they promised to test me for covid later."
