I have been diagnosed covid with a positive Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Antigen test. What should I do next?

University highly recommends contacting the GP (family doctor) if you feel symptoms of COVID-19 or similar as well. The student is free to apply to any first-level healthcare institution operating in Kaunas, called “Šeimos klinika“ or „Poliklinika“ in the Lithuanian language.

Most friendly to assist students and provide necessary treatment could be the clinic „Aušros medicinos centras“ (Reception +370 37 709 904, +370 67 945 144, www.ausrosmedicinoscentras.lt). Doctors working in the clinic will communicate in English.

If to visit a healthcare clinic and get medical services, the student must present the following documents which differ based on the country of residence:

**Students from EU countries (+ NO, UK, LI, IS, CH)*:**

The following documents must be presented upon registration at a chosen healthcare clinic:

Passport or ID card
EHIC (European Health Insurance Card)

*After registration, students have a right to receive all emergency healthcare services on the same conditions as a permanent resident of Lithuania. In case of treatment of chronic diseases or non-emergency cases, medical services will be charged.

Students from non-EU countries*:

The following documents must be presented upon registration at a chosen healthcare clinic:

Passport or ID card
TRP (Temporary Residence Permit)
Private Health Insurance (additionally to your Travel Insurance which covers only urgent medical services and repatriation)

* After registration, students can get healthcare services funded by their private health insurer in accordance to the conditions established in the insurance policy
