Corona tests will remain free of charge for symptomatic patients from resident doctors in the future. This emerges from the revised draft of the Covid-19 transfer law by the Ministry of Health, which is to be adopted by the Council of Ministers on Wednesday and by Parliament in June, according to a broadcast by the Ministry of Health on Tuesday.
“So that all people with symptoms continue to receive the best possible medical treatment in the future, we continue to allow free testing in the event of symptoms,” emphasized Health Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens) in a broadcast. According to the experts, extensive testing of people without symptoms “no longer makes sense because the tests do not significantly reduce the number of infections”. The distribution of living room tests in pharmacies ends on May 31st. The background is the end of the pandemic officially declared by the World Health Organization (WHO).
