More than 10,000 more tests were due to take place on Saturday night. Governor Markus Wallner (ÖVP) made a new appeal to the population to take the opportunity to carry out the test.
“We have seen that testing works quickly and efficiently. So I ask again: take the opportunity to be tested,” Wallner said. There are still enough test sites across the country on Saturdays and Sundays.
On Saturday, more than 33,300 people initially registered for the tests, after more than 52,000 people had already taken place on Friday. There were almost 9,000 registrations for Sunday; tryouts will run until 5pm on Sunday. The registration rate for the three days was 27.7 percent (95,619 people) on Saturday afternoon.
Tests for educators
While the population of Tyrol and Vorarlberg is already being assessed across the board, pedagogues from Lower Austria and Styria need to be assessed.
“At Steiermark Everything runs smoothly and without incident in the mass tests for educators and kindergarten staff, “said Harald Eitner, head of Styrian’s specialized department for disaster control in Graz on Saturday. The electronic record had worked, it was a good test for the massive tests for the next population Weekend: Before the start of the tests in Krampustag, around 700 helpers from Styria were tested for Covid-19, all negative.
About 20,000 members of the educational professions have been registered, Eitner said. There were comings and goings, I hoped it would stay that way, Eitner said. The Krampus Day morning rush was, however, manageable and manageable: Those who arrived around 11 a.m. had their turn.
