The spit of schoolchildren from all federal states – with the exception of Vienna – will be analyzed for corona viruses in Bergheim from January 17th. The Salzburg bidding consortium consisting of Procomcure Biotech, Hygienikum, Confidence DNA-Analyzes and Tauern Clinics, based in the Flachgau municipality, was awarded the bid by the federal government. In future, schools will even gargle twice a week, replacing the Eugendorf Novogenia laboratory, which has previously analyzed 4.3 million PCR tests from schools in six federal states. Novogenia is now criticizing the federal tendering criteria and is missing the ability to plan.
