From Wednesday, 600,000 Covid-19 test kits will be temporarily stored in the Armed Forces logistics center in St. Johann in Tirol, explained Franz Nalter, the press officer of the Tirolean Military Command: “There it will be portioned, picked and distributed by the armed forces to various barracks in Tirol. These in turn pick and then divide it up according to the municipalities so that the fire brigades can pick up the test kits and protective equipment and deliver them to the municipalities. “

Distribution through barracks

Some of the test material is delivered to the Haspingerkaserne in Lienz, and antigen kits, protective equipment and disinfectants are also sent to the Frundsberg-Kaserne in Schwaz. Deliveries are also made to the Standschützen barracks in Innsbruck and the Pontlatz barracks in Landeck. Some of the test material remains in St. Johann.

The fire departments of the respective communities are then responsible for further distribution. They get the protective and test materials from the barracks and bring them to the communities. The logistical feat has to be successful by Friday.

Communities are setting up test roads

Meanwhile, the municipalities are working flat out to prepare the infrastructure. In Hall, for example, ten test roads are currently being built on the UMIT site and in the salt warehouse. There will also be the option of registering online for a test date via the city’s homepage from Tuesday

So you want to avoid waiting times and thus contacts. In Hall, it is expected that far more than half of the population will take part in the coronavirus mass testing, said Mayor Eva-Maria Posch in an interview with ORF Tirol.

Invitation to the test will be sent by letter

From Monday, mail will be sent to all Tyroleans who are older than six years. In the letter from the country, they are asked to take part in the CoV mass test. One hopes for the greatest possible participation. Governor Günther Platter (ÖVP) has not yet been set to any percentage. Participation in the mass tests is voluntary – more on this in mass tests: Information will be sent by post.
