About the issuance of the Medical Bulletin

According to the new regulations of the state, if after January 15, 2022, you have tested positive on COVID-19, which is laboratory-confirmed, and the number of days of stay in isolation has amounted to 8 days, you do not need a Medical Bulletin, because the positive COVID-19 test is equivalent to a certificate.

You don’t need to take a hard copy of this Certificate – you can print it from the application and/or from email.

About the other cases of the issuance of the Medical Bulletin and Certificates

1. If the insured person has similar symptoms to COVID-19, but the laboratory test result is negative, and the insured person is in isolation, the Certificate or the Medical Bulletin is issued in this case. If the patient is being managed by a Curatio doctor, you should fill out a form of requesting a Certificate at the link: https://covid.gpih.ge/
   
   
2. The maximum duration of the Certificate is 5 days in case of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. After the expiration of this period, you should consult with your personal doctor again and continue treatment based on his/her recommendations.

3. If you have been tested positive for Covid-19 but the treatment and isolation period is more than 8 days, a positive test result is not enough in this case (the test results covers only 8 days). Therefore, in this case the doctor opens the Medical Bulletin. If Curatio Clinic manages the patient, it is enough to fill out the application, following the link, and the relevant certificate will be prepared for the patient.
   
   
4. If the patient is transferred to a COVID-19 hotel or is hospitalized, for the Certificate and Medical Bulletin you should contact the clinic/hotel, where he/she was transferred.
