The Austrian government has said it ordered seven million antigen tests as part of a mass coronavirus testing drive, with teachers and police officers first in line to receive them, AFP reported.
Around 200,000 teachers and kindergarten workers will be tested over the weekend of December 5 and 6, as Austria's second coronavirus lockdown is due to end, according to an Austrian government press statement.
On December 7 and 8, around 400,000 police officers are to be tested.
Also in the first week of December, residents in districts with high coronavirus case figures will be tested, although these have yet to be selected.
