More than 105,000 Vorarlberg residents responded to the call and participated in nationwide testing over the past three days. “I would like to expressly thank you for being tested and for taking a significant step in fighting the pandemic together,” Governor Wallner said.

Wallner also reminds us that it took a lot of hands to make it a success: “Without this perfect organizational system, not so many people would have come. I would also like to express my appreciation for this organizational masterpiece, which was launched in a very short time and with a tremendous amount of commitment and know-how. I was always aware that it would be best to use an independent solution from Vorarlberg. ” The 80 test stations would have worked perfectly, the governor said.

The next step will be to analyze in detail the data and results of the area tests. In any case, Wallner is already clear that one is well prepared for more tests in the area and also for the vaccination campaigns next year. “We can draw on the experiences of the last three days. We will now discuss the next steps with the experts, ”Wallner said. The implementation of vaccination campaigns at the national level is already being prepared; for these too, essentially one can use the organization and processes of the area tests.
