After the declaration of the result, a relevant statement is issued by the platform, which the employee prints or brings in electronic way. The employee must, within 24 hours, do a repeat check (either in a free public structure or in another structure of his choice). Until the result of the second check comes out, the employee stays at home in quarantine.

If the result of the second test is positive: a certificate is issued, as an evidence for the employee to be quarantined according to EODY’s protocols.

If the result of the second test is negative: a relevant certificate is issued again, certifying the negative result and the employee must return to his work. The result of the second test must be declared to platform also (by filling in the form "Declaration of Covid-19 Test after a positive result".

Finally, according to the instructions and planning of EODY, we take care of our timely vaccination.
