From Monday, August 9, the Healthy Moscow pavilions will return to the usual form of operations. The medical specialists working there will mainly be engaged in identifying the consequences of the coronavirus. This was announced by the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, in his personal blog. To recall, from the end of June the pavilions served as COVID-19 immunization locations.
Muscovites who have suffered coronavirus will have access to a number of free medical tests in the Healthy Moscow pavilions. These include spirometry (examination of the respiratory system); biochemical blood analysis; a six-minute walk test in the case of complaints of shortness of breath or swelling and D-dimer concentration tests (for blood clotting marker) for those who have had moderate to severe forms of the disease. Patients may be also referred for a thoracic X-ray. The examination itself will be carried out in the polyclinic.
Sobyanin stressed that the pavilions have completed their mission as immunization locations: more than 560,000 residents of the city were vaccinated there with the first dose of the vaccine, and 8000 more Muscovites were vaccinated with the single-dose Sputnik Light vaccine.
“Today, the existing capacities in Moscow are sufficient to continue large-scale vaccination without any hype or queues,” the mayor said.
There are 45 Healthy Moscow pavilions operating in the Russian capital, their location can be found on the map.
