As of December 7, you can register for the tests via the internet portal oesterreich.gv.at and print a data sheet. This data sheet should be completed at home. People without internet access can also participate in the tests. You can come directly to the test facility. However, authorities recommend using online registration to avoid long wait times and large crowds at test sites.

This is how the test works

  • Arrival at the test site: Anyone who is already registered online and has the complete data sheet with them will be sent directly to the registration station. If the record or data sheet is missing, the data must first be recorded.
  • At the registration station identity is determined by identity verification. The test kit will then be delivered along with a note. Each one is assigned to a test route. There the smear is performed by trained personnel. After the smear, you can leave the test site again.
  • The evaluation of the evidence: The smear is evaluated, employees fill out a data sheet with the test result. This sheet goes to the administration. There, the test result is recorded in an IT system along with the data of the person being tested.
  • Communication of the result in most cases via SMS or email. Those who cannot receive SMS or email will be notified of their test results by phone.
  • With a positive result the person in question is immediately separated by the authorities. To confirm the results of the rapid antigen test, a PCR test will be carried out in the next few days in one of the Red Cross drive-ins. Responsible district administrative authorities will contact those affected by phone to make an appointment for the PCR test.
  • Are there consequences if I don’t participate in the mass test? The tests are based on the principle of voluntariness. Therefore, there are no consequences if you do not participate in the test.
  • Can I choose the location of the test? In principle, yes, to facilitate the processes, the authorities ask all participants to take the test in their community of origin if possible.
