The country is funding the antibody test
While there is a threat of a shortage elsewhere, Tyrol even has a slight surplus. There are several reasons why this is so. Probably the decisive one: the country has been funding a free corona antibody test for blood donors since October. A service that, according to Gaber, is not available or only to a limited extent in other federal states. “That has led to an enormous influx. Especially when people want to know their immune status because of vaccination planning, ”explains the Red Cross man. The country finances the test for 40,000 donors. Gaber assumes that the quota will be exhausted by the end of September.
