Ua simple pacifier to put in the mouth for 90 seconds: in some Austrian nurseries, children are now tested for covid using a fun and unprecedented solution to control the spread of the virus.
In a kindergarten in downtown Vienna open to the media this week, the timid students indulged in this painless exercise for known results in 15 minutes. To prevent an increase in cases in this unvaccinated age group, an Austrian laboratory at the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph hospital in Vienna had the idea to develop this new saliva technique, after having already designed the method of gargling today very widespread in this alpine country of 8.9 million inhabitants. A study is currently being carried out in five nurseries involving children aged between one and six years to determine the reliability of the method and consider a wider deployment, told AFP a spokesperson. Even though the risk of contamination is lower in toddlers, the variant initially detected in England affects both children and adults, according to experts.
