The more new infections there are, the more frequently PCR tests have to be carried out. Sometimes they are scarce. That’s why it should be prioritized now.
Fulda – Last Friday, 140,160 new infections were reported nationwide within one day. On Monday it was 126,955. So far, people with symptoms or a positive rapid test and contact persons of infected people who, according to the Corona-Warn-App, had a risky encounter are entitled to a free PCR test. However, this pushes the laboratories to their limits. fuldaerzeitung.de* reveals which alternatives to the PCR tests are available.
Because of bottlenecks, there should now be prioritization. The politicians have agreed on that. People who are particularly at risk and their carers and therapists should therefore have priority, such as residents and staff of nursing homes. At the same time, however, more capacity for PCR tests is to be created. *fuldaerzeitung.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
