It is believed that two-thirds can be confirmed by PCR testing. In addition to the population in all districts, residents of nursing homes and nursing homes, as well as education sector personnel and police officers, were assessed.
“The organization and implementation were perfect, thanks to the typical good cooperation of Salzburg between the state, emergency organizations, authorities and communities. I would like to thank everyone who contributed ”, said Governor Wilfried Haslauer, obtaining a positive balance during four days of testing in Salzburg.
Tests for Haslauer’s “new normal”
For Haslauer, serial testing is part of future normalcy. “Certain activities will only be possible if you have a negative test. That will be a new form of personal hygiene ”. You could also think of ways of possible incentives to increase the level of motivation, the governor said.
