The test kits will be distributed at company locations and can be handed in there as well as exclusively at BILLA PLUS in Otto-Holzbauer-Straße / Alpenstraße 92-94 in Salzburg or at the bus station of Salzburg AG.
Leonhard Schitter, CEO Salzburg AG: "As an operator of electricity, gas and telecom infrastructures, we have a high responsibility towards the population. In addition to the existing safety measures, such as internal vaccination lines, we are pleased to have found partners in REWE and LEAD Horizon, who enable us to carry out PCR testing at the site. In this way, we can protect our critical infrastructure employees in the best possible way with our 'vaccinate & test' strategy."
Marcel Haraszti, REWE International AG executive board member adds: "Our branch density already offers a comprehensive network of easily accessible gargle test dispensing points in Vienna. As a reliable partner in local supply throughout Austria, we are now also pleased to be able to offer a stable and low-threshold PCR test service for employees of the first critical infrastructure companies in Salzburg."
Karin Zeiler-Fidler, Managing Director of LEAD Horizon, agrees: "Our test kits were developed with the aim of making PCR testing low-threshold, convenient and independent. In view of the omicron wave, regular testing is an important tool especially for businesses to keep their operations running. Therefore, we invite other Salzburg businesses to join this testing scheme."
In addition to the test offer for Salzburg AG employees, capacities are still available for other companies with a connection to the BILLA PLUS branch in Otto-Holzbauer-Straße / Alpenstraße.
