The Lenggries pharmacist Eva Löhle offers citizen tests in the tourist information until the end of June.

After that, she will continue to smear in her apothecary.

Nobody knows whether the tests will then still be taken over by the state.

The operators of the corona test stations in the district do not know how things will continue from July.

The current test regulation expires at the end of June.

Then the swabs should be chargeable again.

Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen –

The current test regulation expires at the end of June.

Even if the number of infections is constantly increasing, this means that anyone who wants to undergo a corona test from July 1st will have to pay for it themselves.

And once again it is the operators of the test centers who are now in trouble.

Because there have not yet been any decisions as to what conditions, for whom and for what test reason the smear should cost how much.

Annoyed by the long wait for information from the federal government

The Tölz pharmacist Andreas Heinrich is annoyed by the lack of and late communication from the government.

"They're sleeping again," he says.

Heinrich operates a rapid test station in the Tölz Vital Center as well as a PCR test center on Stefanie-von-Strechine-Straße.

"The PCR tests will certainly end on June 30th, it's been running in deficit for a long time," he says.

Whether he will still offer quick tests in the vitality center in July is still open.

Like some other operators of test stations, he hopes that the decision will be changed in the short term due to the high numbers.

But should the tests cost anything from July 1st, he will also close the bulkheads in the vitality center.

"There are only discussions as soon as I have to ask for something in return," he explains.

"So far I've been one of the few anyway

who was always there, no matter what kind of minus you had with the test shop at times," explains Heinrich.

Currently, the test business would “bear”.

The increasing corona numbers have also been evident for two weeks in everyday testing.

"Currently, about 80 percent of the PCR tests are positive," reports Heinrich.

In Lenggries, the pharmacist Eva Löhle is currently still testing in the tourist information.

Irrespective of the further test regulation, she will again offer the swabs in the "Alte Apotheke" in Lenggries from July - under what conditions is still uncertain.

"From July, the hall will be used for other purposes, but I will continue," she explains.

She too hopes to be able to continue offering free citizen tests.

"A lot of people come to me to visit relatives in the hospital or nursing home," she reports.

“Either way, I would continue to provide the service to my customers.

Older people in particular are very helpless.” But Löhle is also very annoyed by the government's short-notice release of information.

The number of those who tested positive is increasing again

PCR tests after registration are currently also available in the test center on the Flinthöhe.

District office spokeswoman Marlis Peischer explains: "Free PCR tests are possible for the following people without symptoms of illness: Confirmation of a positive quick test or self-test in the case of asymptomatic courses, in the case of a hospital admission and for medical staff if a test is described in the hygiene concept of the facility." Paid tests however, should not be offered in the test center on the Flinthöhe.

"Quick tests are also not being carried out at the moment," explains Marlis Peischer when asked by the Tölzer Kurier.

Stephanie Ried, on the other hand, continues to carry out quick tests in her pole dance and Pilates school "Schwerelos" in Wolfratshausen.

"I'll have to wait for more details, too," she says.

"So far I've been testing with registration." Like Heinrich and Löhle, Ried also hopes that the tests will remain free of charge.

“Otherwise I have to see what the conditions and needs are then.

But I think that one way or another I will continue to do tests with registration.”

Alexandra Dieterich runs the "Excura" test station in Geretsried.

Although the demand had recently been "roughly the same at a low level", for a few days she has been observing a steady increase in test demand.

"Since the end of the Pentecost holidays, we have also had a higher number of people who have tested positive," Dieterich also notes.

“How and whether things will continue at your test station from July can only be answered as soon as the federal government has commented on how to proceed.
