Rapid test centers: data transmission to authorities unreliable | NDR.de – Nachrichten – Hamburg

Status: 05/05/2021 8:05 am

Just under half of the rapid test centers in Hamburg reliably deliver their data to the authorities. The CDU is therefore calling for more control and rapid test monitoring.

Of 251 test centers in the city, only 120 delivered the data to the authorities – at least in two weeks in April. That emerged from the Senate’s response to a CDU request. But if not all the data are known, then the Senate cannot publish official figures, said the social policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group, Andreas Greuteck.

City does not adhere to its own guidelines

More and more people are currently being tested. The Senate cannot say anything about how often people in which districts are tested. It is surprising that the city does not adhere to its own guidelines, according to Greuteck.

While employers should offer test certificates, this does not happen everywhere in their own administration. There are no test certificates for employees in any of the seven district offices. According to Grützek, the Harburg district office even thinks there is no official need for it, just as in Bergedorf.
