The Freiburg virology professor Hartmut Hengel complains that the results of corona antigen rapid tests are too lax.
Because many positive results are not confirmed with a so-called PCR test and are therefore not included in the official statistics, there is a “self-inflicted data gap”, Hengel told the “Rheinische Post” (Friday).
"It is a failure of all those responsible for health policy that the statutory reporting obligation is not implemented," he criticized.
“Federal Minister (Jens) Spahn now even wants to release the tests for domestic use.
This means that the PCR-based reporting statistics are becoming increasingly fragile. ”The fact that there is no longer an official approval process is also a deficit.
