Around 10,000 people are affected by the most recent failure in the transmission of corona test results in Bavaria. This was announced by a spokesman for the Bavarian Ministry of Health in Munich.
Therefore, tests for the corona virus were conducted at Bavarian airports between Saturday and Tuesday and did not return a result within the promised 48-hour period. According to the spokesperson, the reason was an IT problem at private service provider Ecolog. On behalf of the Free State, it conducts tests at Munich, Nuremberg and Memmingen airports.
The spokesperson assumed that all people tested during the period will receive their notifications of results on Friday.
On Thursday evening, the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) admitted the delays at test stations at airports. The reason is “an interface problem in data processing” in Ecolog.
In the past, there had already been problems with transmission to various test sites in Bavaria. In mid-August it emerged that tens of thousands of people had waited for days for his corona test result, including more than 900 people who tested positive.
On Friday, those affected reported chaos at Bavarian test stations, including the highway, and were upset by waiting times for days. The opposition also criticized the lack of management. “The debacle of Prime Minister Söder’s Corona test goes to the second round,” said the leader of the Landtag Greens parliamentary group, Katharina Schulze.
The Kitzingen district office also faced delays. “Earlier in the week, the association of accredited medical laboratories in Germany reported that there was a considerable backlog of evidence,” the authority said. The capacities of the local health department are “almost exhausted.” Therefore, results may not always be available within the expected one or two days.
