A young woman from Neubrandenburg was able to keep the corona virus at bay for two years, but now it has caught her.While the world around has decided to return to normal, the 20-year-old, who told her story to the Nordkurier, must first be in isolation.Also read: Number of new corona infections in MV is increasingBut before that, after a positive self-test on Friday evening, there was actually a confirmation by a PCR test.But when the weekend approaches, it's an almost hopeless undertaking in the Mecklenburg Lake District, as the young woman found out.Because the district's overview page only lists nine providers of PCR tests.And at the only two test centers in the district town it was said: Not on the weekend.The 20-year-old was also unlucky outside of the four-gate city.She felt responsible towards family, friends and contacts with whom she has professional and private dealings to ensure safety as quickly as possible.An attempt in Neustrelitz, however, brought another negative answer.Yes, very early on this Saturday morning, PCR tests were still carried out, but now the tester who can do this has left for further training, the provider, the German Life Saving Society (DLRG), explained.Also read: Corona test centers are breaking away from customersAs the board of the DLRG-Strelitz admits, the test offer is actually subject to restrictions - because the association organizes the whole thing on a voluntary basis.If the members and helpers had to pursue their core tasks, a test could be postponed.After all, the DLRG is primarily committed to swimming supervision and supervision as a lifeguard.As a rule, a PCR test is possible every day after a telephone appointment, even at short notice.The club offers tests at the weekend because no one else offers it.The number of tests or whether the effort is worth it is irrelevant for the team.The expense allowance that the club receives for testing benefits the club's treasury and other important tasks.So the revenue would help the region.The DLRG board also hopes that the government will not simply end funding for the tests completely after the regulation expires at the end of June.Maik Wolff from the Wilma Neubrandenburg nursing service, which operates four test stations in the district town, also wants that."We don't want to close and open again under any circumstances." That means an enormous effort.Recently, however, the need for tests has fallen sharply.While around 20,000 quick tests and 6000 PCR tests per week were carried out at peak times, the team is currently only doing 5000 quick tests and 50 to 70 PCR tests - mainly in the test center at the clinic.From Ascension Day, the Test Center West is to be closed completely due to the sharp decline in numbers.The opening hours in the test centers in the Bethanien-Center and Katharinenviertel are to be slightly adjusted.Because it is important for the service provider to maintain the citizen-oriented offer.According to Wolff, Wilma will no longer carry out PCR tests on weekends from next weekend."Demand has fallen sharply in recent weeks." Only three tests were carried out last weekend.Also read: Pastoral care instead of a threat of fines for unvaccinated nursesSo, ultimately, does the market alone regulate the safeguarding of a daily supply?Obviously yes.When asked by the Nordkurier, the district administration pointed out that the test stations at the beginning of the pandemic were only tested from Monday to Friday.Capacity was only created on the weekends when the number of infections increased.It is important to stay at home if the self-test is positive, to limit contacts and to arrange a PCR test with your family doctor or a test center by phone.The young woman from Neubrandenburg has now experienced how difficult that can be.Incidentally, a rapid test carried out “professionally” in a center also gave her a negative result.Several private tests, such as the PCR test that was finally possible on Monday, showed that she was infected.However, their trust in the test centers and in a functioning regional infrastructure in the fight against the corona virus has been shaken, as has their current state of health.The regular overview of the number of cases, current regulations and new developments relating to the corona virus in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania and the Uckermark.Register now for free!The Nordkurier - news and service from our homeland, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg.
