SALK: No weekly corona tests
Salzburger Landeskliniken (SALK) employees are not tested weekly for the corona virus, according to an ORF report on Monday, quoting SALK managing director Paul Sungler. All employees with patient contact have been wearing an FFP2 mask since the previous week. This measure is based on an exception in federal government regulation. If insufficient test materials are available, FFP2 masks can be used. With around 6,500 internal employees and around 500 external employees at the state clinics, a monthly testing rate of more than 30,000 tests would require too much administrative effort, argued the managing director.
Cases in nursing homes for the elderly
Meanwhile, new cases of corona have been known in two nursing homes in the city of Salzburg. Since Sunday evening, seven residents and three employees of the Nonntal municipal nursing home in Salzburg have tested positive for the corona virus. Those affected were isolated.
