Rospotrebnadzor called the reason for the refusal to issue a QR code to those who had been ill

Russians can only receive a QR code about a coronavirus they have had if they have gone to the doctor with a positive test result, Marina Bezborodova, head of Rospotrebnadzor for the Tula region, said in an interview with Myslo.

According to her, a note about the disease appears on the State Services portal only if a person, after receiving the test results for COVID-19, goes to the doctor and the specialist confirms his diagnosis.

The representative of Rospotrebnadzor explained that the agency transmits data on each positive test, including from commercial clinics, to the clinic and obliges the patient to be in quarantine. At the same time, only a doctor can enter the disease into the medical history with a certain encoding.

“That is why it is necessary to consult a doctor with a positive test, even with minor symptoms,” Bezborodova said.
