For a month now, employees of schools and kindergartens in Traiskirchen, Lower Austria, have been able to be tested for corona infection with rapid antigen tests twice a week. If necessary, parents and children can also use the offer. SPÖ leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner, who, as a doctor, volunteered this morning in Traiskirchen, called for the model to be adopted for all of Austria.
“It is important to me to help detect infections at an early stage and enable safe teaching. Because the goal is clear: schools should never be closed again,” Rendi-Wagner was quoted as saying. The opening of compulsory schools from Monday is correct, but “strict rules are needed for safe schooling.” The weekly screenings are “exemplary,” said Rendi-Wagner, who, according to the broadcast, volunteers for the Samariterbund at Impf-Bim, vaccination centers and test streets in Vienna.
Mayor Andreas Babler (SPÖ) criticized that Traiskirchen, like many other cities and municipalities, had to intervene with protective measures in schools because the government had not acted. Air devices have been purchased in the rooms for kindergartens and schools, as well as FFP2 masks for their employees, and protective plexiglass walls have been erected.
