Massive coronavirus tests currently underway in Vienna have now recorded how many of the positive rapid tests have resulted in an incorrect diagnosis. It was more than half, reported a spokesman for Health Councilor Peter Hacker (SPÖ) of the APA on Wednesday.
In the first two days (Friday and Saturday) infection had been diagnosed in a total of 106 antigen tests.
106 rapid corona positive tests, only 45 confirmed by PCR
However, subsequent verification using a PCR test showed that 61 of them were negative and only 45 were positive. The results of the PCR tests are available during the first two days. According to the spokesperson, the false positive rate based on the total number of tests was around 0.14 percent during this period. The total positive rate in the first two days was around 0.2 percent.
113,637 people had been examined in Vienna at noon on Wednesday
Currently, as of Wednesday noon, 113,637 people have been tested at the three mass testing sites in Vienna. 669 people completed a PCR test offered by the Vienna health authorities directly on the test streets. However, these have not yet been fully evaluated. It is likely that the trend that most of those affected were not infected at all is confirmed according to the first data.
