Vienna (Austria), 23 Oct (EFE) (Camera: Antonio Sánchez Solís).- Instead of delivering packages or food to people’s homes, around 130 bike messengers in Vienna have started delivering free PCR tests to people with Covid-19 symptoms can be tested without leaving their homes. On behalf of the City's health authorities, couriers collect and deliver up to a thousand tests every day to different laboratories in the Austrian capital. The results take between 24 and 48 hours to be ready, and are communicated to the patients through a website that can be accessed with a personalized PIN code sent by text message to the patient’s mobile phone.FOOTAGE OF PCR HOME TESTING IN VIENNA, INCLUDES STATEMENTS BY DORIS HOFER, BIKE MESSENGER FROM THE SPEED TRANSPORT COMPANY, WHO CARRIES OUT PCR TESTS ON REQUEST OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF VIENNA Translations:1. "At the beginning when I started working I was very nervous and very careful. In the meantime I have more experience but I am very careful not to get too close. I have the feeling that the closest I get is through the envelope. But if one does the work very accurately then we don't touch each other. And since I ride my bike and am in the fresh air I think any virus that might be stuck to my clothes will fly away.2. "Right now I'm less afraid at work than when I go to the supermarket or take public transportation. There is a general price, with some extras, but not for this specific work for the covid test".3. "Some people open the door, with a mask and distance, or just open it a little, to make sure I don't get it. Others open the door and walk out as if nothing is wrong and say they don't have anything. But I tell people very clearly to leave everything on the floor, so it's very important to follow all the rules."
