Alles gurgelt! for tourists in Vienna
Alles gurgelt! is a COVID testing scheme in Vienna. One takes a gargle PCR test at home, drops off the kit at various locations and receives an answer within 24 hours.
I am not Austrian or an EU member and may visit Vienna as a tourist. I am vaccinated for COVID, but I still need to take a PCR test. Could I take an Alles gurgelt test? This page seems to imply the answer is "yes", but their website says participation is open to "all people who live or work in Vienna", which doesn't seem to include tourists.
If I can take the test, is it possible to get the resuts in English? And will the report contain my (foreign) passport number? A report in German or one without my passport number is not useful to me.
Best Answer
I was able to register without stating that I work or live in Vienna.
After registering you will receive a QR code that can be used to pick up the test kits at any of the pickup/drop off locations like Billa or Bipa.
The results are in both English and German. Included in the results there is a document/ID number that I believe can be your passport number.
To take the at-home test you can use the same login that you used to register or sign in as a guest. This means that if someone else registers and picks up a test, you should be able to use it for yourself with all your own personal details (if for some reason you were not able to register).
Hope that helps
