Red cross to Corona breakdown: Our people stood at 40 degrees in the test tents

Mr Obermair, wearing the Bavarian Red cross, there is a complicity in the breakdown in the Corona-testing?

Timo Frasch

Political correspondent in Munich.

no. The service is very short term queried. It is only the Bavarian auxiliary organizations were in a position to do so in the short term. We were responsible for the Build of the infrastructure, together with the local partners: national police, General Directorate of highways, Technical assistance. Our people have made the smears, with the data Collection forms collected, and then the day of the labs passed. The step when the trip returnees is informed, was never in our jurisdiction, but a matter for the health authorities.

where addressed allegations have come to you?

We have primarily heard from the state office for health and food safety, the performance, have provided our volunteers, would have not met the standards of quality that you have imagined. The Minister of health and the Minister of the interior have praised our work, however, a number of times as highly professional. Therefore, we do not understand the current debate.

But at the test stations, they were, Yes. You have not pointed out there that something is not running?

We have said from the beginning that it is important, a Hotline to establish. It was made last week – but only just, as the Tests started to run. We have also noted that it would be of advantage, if the process would be digital to run. But the technical possibilities were not just available. We do not have the. The Private with get it now, apparently.

it Annoys you, if now is said to be Private to ensure the professionalisation?

It doesn't annoy us. We have said that we are for so long until a Private is able to provide the service. Has now had it again for 14 days more notice to prepare. And the infrastructure that we have built up over night, is the Private also available.

underestimated the number of those who have accepted the trial offer?

no. The more than 60,000, the alone have been tested, we are remarkable. But in an interview with the state government, it was assumed that the beginning of the order of 16,000 of the day, this would have been in the period in which we were engaged, over 190,000. We have kept our staff accordingly. There were also quite a few jams at the test stations. The process from our side is, I think, well expired. Nevertheless, we have received many complaints. Up to 150 calls a day it was, the people have made us responsible for the fact that you get a test result.
