First Viennese hotel offers corona tests for guests
Business travelers now have less to worry about Austria's entry regulations. Because: The 4-star boutique hotel The Harmonie Vienna is now offering its guests a Covid-19 test directly in the hotel complex as an additional service. This saves guests the often tedious search for a suitable doctor. "We have given a lot of thought to how we can offer our guests a service in these challenging times so that they can enjoy their visit to Vienna or their business appointments in Vienna with a feeling of security," says hotel owner Sonja Wimmer. The solution seems to be beneficial for all parties. The hotel can safely assume that the accommodation will remain corona-free. And guests are spared the potentially unpleasant step of self-isolation. The nasal swab test, which is perceived as unpleasant but actually common, is not used. Instead, the so-called throat rinse fluid - better known as the gargle test - is used. According to the hotel, this method has also been recognized and recommended by the WHO. A result should be available within a maximum of 24 hours.
