Magdeburg (dpa / sa) - The corona rapid tests carried out in the state parliament on Monday did not deliver any positive results.
This was announced by the state parliament administration on request on Tuesday.
According to this, 150 smears were taken from MPs, employees and media representatives.
Parliamentary President Gabriele Brakebusch (CDU) said on Monday that only 25 of the 87 MPs had registered for the test.
You expected a higher participation.
Some MPs said on Monday that they had already had themselves tested over the weekend or had taken part in the rapid tests in the state parliament without prior notification.
Brakebusch and Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) had advertised on Monday for the rapid antigen tests used there, both of which were tested. The tests would play an important role in containing the pandemic, said the prime minister. In the coming months, more and more of them should be available in Saxony-Anhalt. In Magdeburg, 1700 people should be able to be tested for free on the old market from Friday. After 15 minutes the volunteers should get the result.
