Hofer emphasized “that the FP did not give any recommendation to participate or not participate in the tests.” However, Hofer confirmed the criticism of the massive tests and is confirmed by the testing strategy of the Ministry of Health.
The deputy of FP Belakowitsch had asked in the morning that he not participate in the massive tests announced by the government. “If you want to celebrate Christmas in peace, don’t let yourself be tested,” Belakovich told a news conference. She justified it with the risk of being quarantined after a false positive result. He received harsh criticism from VP and Verdes.
Hofer came out in the evening to resume the debate and emphasized that the FP made no recommendation. “That is the decision of each individual citizen and it certainly also depends on their personal living environment,” said the FP president. However, it must be clear that neither tests nor vaccines should be a direct or indirect coercion and not a repression for people who decide not to get tested or vaccinated.
However, Hofer confirmed the FP’s criticism of the massive tests planned for December. The head of FP sees this confirmed by the test strategy of the Ministry of Health. This was published on October 13 and calls for a “specific approach” to Covid testing. “Unfounded suspicion tests also increase the number of false positive results and overload the existing testing capacity,” says the document written by the Ministry of Health. For this reason, Hofer calls for priority to be given to homes for the elderly and the elderly: “It is not the ski slopes that come first, but lonely people who cannot see their loved ones in the last stage of their lives.”
