"The Guy Has Symptoms Of The Virus Everyone's Talking About Online, But They Won't Give Him A Doctor's Note."

What's Happening at Our Clinics.

A woman from Minsk elenagechik said on Threads that public clinics are refusing to issue medical certificates to people showing symptoms of the virus that doctors doctors had warned about a few days ago.

“A student’s boyfriend has all the symptoms of the virus everyone’s talking about online. ” she writes. “He has a sore throat, a stuffy nose, terrible headaches, and excruciating body aches, along with general weakness, but no fever and his blood tests are normal.

The doctors at the clinic flatly refuse to issue a sick note. Private medical centers aren’t authorized to issue them. In Belarus, a private medical center will issue a sick note if you have an annual contract with them or are covered by insurance

I’ll be absent from work today because I was completely unable to leave the house, and tomorrow I’ll have to go and infect the whole institute.

“Well, if only it were paid sick leave. We just needed a doctor’s note.”

Social media users advised contacting the clinic director in such cases. The website Charter97.org features some comments:

- See another doctor, or better yet, the head of the clinic.

- Call a doctor to your home. The absence of a fever does not confirm that you are not sick. Two years ago, I had pneumonia without a fever—just a severe dry cough and body aches.

- I just called “Kraviura”—they said they only issue sick leave based on insurance.

- The clinical protocol for diagnosis and treatment is in effect.
