The free Corona rapid tests handed out at pharmacies were completely sold out after only a few days. Supplies are already on the way.
Since March 1, those interested have been able to get five free Corona self-tests from pharmacies – in theory, because the tests are out of stock . Supplies are already on the way. The only question is when it will arrive in Austria.
“The first three million free rapid tests have been used up, and the second tranche of 4.5 million tests has not yet been delivered in full,” explains Apothekerkammer President Ulrike Mursch-Edelmayr to Ö1-Journal. The fact that there are currently difficulties with supplies is due to the global situation, and there are also delays at customs and in the distribution chain in many places.
The fact is, we are miles away from the 38 million tests that would be needed to provide all over-15s with five free self-tests per month. How many more tests will come in March is unclear. “Millions more have been ordered weekly by the federal government and some are already on their way to Austria,” says Mursch-Edelmayr.
