Governor Günther Platter (ÖVP) and “Tirol Testing” project manager Elmar Rizzoli presented the preliminary results of the massive tests at a press conference on Sunday evening. 32.05 percent of all Tyrolese eligible for the test participated, 620 of the total of 220,713 antigen tests performed were positive (0.28 percent). Platter said more tests won’t last with just one test weekend.
He advocates a “dual strategy.” In any case, there will be no zip lining “going it alone”, but expect a test strategy coordinated with the federal government, Platter said at the press conference at the field house. Lessons must now be drawn from the massive nationwide testing. In any case, he advocates a “dual strategy,” said the Tyrolean governor, and considers antigen tests useful in screening out people who do not have symptoms.
“Hundreds of infected people were identified in this test weekend, thus avoiding thousands of infections and breaking chains of contagion,” said the country manager, contextualizing the figures. The fact that the proportion of infected people is only 0.28 percent shows: “The blockade is working.” I wanted to leave the exact assessment of the proportion of those who tested positive to the experts, “if these are available, I am in favor of decisions being made.”
