The homeless will be able to get tested for coronavirus for free in Zagreb as of 5 January, which will enable them to get a Covid certificate and thus access social and healthcare services, the city department for social welfare, health and persons with disabilities said on Tuesday.

“The goal is to provide the homeless with access to social and healthcare services, as well as to services of other institutions in which they can exercise their rights. As of 5 January, testing will take place every Wednesday from 12 to 3 p.m. at 64-66 Heinzelova Street,” the city department said.

The campaign is carried out in cooperation with the “Dr Andrija Stampar” Public Health Institute, the Croatian Red Cross and the City Red Cross Society Zagreb.

Users will be able to get their certificate at the same location where they got tested.

In case they test positive, the “Dr Andrija Stampar” Public Health Institute will give them all the necessary instructions on what to do next.
