The test result must be based on a molecular biological test. The test should not be more than 48 hours.
The criticisms come from the Chamber of Commerce and Labor. A PCR test would cost up to 175 euros. To be tested weekly, it costs up to 700 euros per month. “The borders of Bavaria must remain open for the flow of people and goods and must not be blocked by careless measures,” said WKOÖ President Doris Hummer, also seeing a danger to the company’s location.
