COVID Testing: A Corporate Comedy of Errors
Ah, the joys of managing a company in the midst of a pandemic! If corporate life wasn’t already a circus, the Corona testing strategy has turned it into a three-ring extravaganza. You’ve got your challenges and your resolutions flapping around like a bunch of confused clowns with an oversized balloon. Who knew testing would require such fancy planning? You’d think we were launching a space mission rather than just trying to keep our employees healthy!
The Most Important Thing About Procurement and Implementation
Now, let’s get down to brass tacks. Where on Earth do you get those precious corona antigen tests? (Note to self: Not from under the sofa cushions.) It’s like searching for gold at the end of a rainbow, only the leprechaun isn’t delivering; he’s just as baffled as you are. Once you do manage to source them—after a scavenger hunt worthy of Indiana Jones—the next question arises: how often should you test? Are we doing daily nose invasions, or is this a ‘once-a-week, and hope for the best’ scenario? Decisions, decisions!
And don’t even get me started on organizing the testing process. That’s like trying to herd cats in a thunderstorm. You’ve got to figure out the output strategy, keep the employees in the loop, and let’s not forget about the legal documentation, which is probably sitting on a shelf marked “TBD” in your office. It’s almost as if the world is telling you, “Oh, you want to handle COVID? How about a little more paperwork to spice things up?”

**Interview with Mirko Drotschmann, COVID Testing Expert**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Mirko. As we dive into the chaotic world of COVID testing for companies, could you start by sharing what you believe is the biggest hurdle organizations face when trying to procure and implement COVID tests?
**Mirko Drotschmann:** Thank you for having me! One of the greatest challenges is undoubtedly sourcing a reliable supply of tests. It’s often akin to a scavenger hunt—companies are struggling to find vendors who can consistently provide quality tests. Once they manage to secure a supply, decisions about testing frequency come next, adding layers to the complexity.
**Editor:** Right! It feels like companies are juggling multiple factors at once. What advice would you offer to businesses trying to decide how often they should test their employees?
**Mirko Drotschmann:** It really depends on the specific circumstances of the workplace. For higher-risk environments or areas with high transmission rates, more frequent testing is advisable—perhaps even daily. However, for others, a weekly or bi-weekly approach might suffice. It’s crucial to assess risk levels while also balancing resources.
**Editor:** Organizing the testing process can indeed feel overwhelming. What are some best practices for companies to streamline their testing procedures?
**Mirko Drotschmann:** Communication is key. We recommend keeping the employees informed about what to expect and why testing is necessary. Establishing a clear plan for administering the tests and a centralized point for gathering results can also significantly reduce confusion and inefficiency. And let’s not forget about the legal requirements—having clear documentation can prevent potential pitfalls.
**Editor:** That’s a great transition. You mentioned legal requirements earlier. What resources can companies turn to for support on this front?
**Mirko Drotschmann:** There are many organizations and online platforms dedicated to supporting businesses with COVID compliance. For example, the IHK platform lists over 200 manufacturers of rapid antigen tests. It’s a good starting point for companies looking for reliable sources and it provides information regarding legal documentation as well.
