Through these tests we want to know the number of people who have passed the coronavirus, but also the possibility of creating new coronavirus outbreaks. To that end, they shall determine the speed at which the containment measures are to be suspended. In fact, in the Spanish state the virus has not exerted the same influence, so the end of the confinement may be more related to the characteristics of each place than in a homogeneous way.
The tests will not be carried out by health personnel, except in cases of blood draw. The test is done with a small wound on the tip of the finger and a blood sample is obtained. It will be carried out with the collaboration of the INE, National Statistical Institute (INE), and according to their calculations, 500 working groups will be required to perform the tests in seven days.
They stress that the test is not mandatory and that each person will have to give their consent, as well as children. However, very high participation is expected due to the crisis situation.
