New drive-through coronavirus testing is underway now in Greece, as cases soar – but it’s being done the traditional way — via donkey!
Perhaps today more than ever, when we all need bit of a lift, the sight of people lining up atop their donkeys to have rapid coronavirus testing done was an especially welcome sight.
The small village of Helidoni, near ancient Olympia, was the site of the drive-through testing venue, where medical workers had to make do just to reach their patients sitting atop the animals.
Testing there was accomplished through nasal swabs and the workers had some trouble reaching back into the nasal passages of their high-rising patients, but the testing was accomplished nevertheless, allowing the villagers to go on their way quickly back home.
The whole procedure, hearkening back to days of old, was videotaped by local media outlet “ilialive.gr.”
The narrator noted during the story “In our villages, people keep the traditions even for rapid tests.”
