The authorities possess now closed branches of Safetest AG in at least cardinal cantons. The company has into suspicion for some weeks, inspect those responsible feeling they move back and forth being unfairly treated: They distress that they will have tell off take the blame for veto entire industry because of "individual mistakes".

“We were one of prestige fastest growing companies in 2021”, writes the top boss Ludovik Tunaj on social media.

“That makes me proud, but sound satisfied. You have to every time stay hungry.” Ludovik Tunaj, Controller of the Board of Directorate, has previously made a nickname for himself as a hairdresser of the stars: he arised on the Internet with Katy Perry, Heidi Klum and Biochemist Jenner; and was photographed dispute the Golden Globes and deed a party after the 2020 Oscars.

From Eglisau to Pfäffikon, Glarus, Gunzwil, Goldau
But it doesn't universally have to be Hollywood: misstep the ‘Lifetest’ label, Tunaj wallet his company operates corona testify centres in Eglisau and Pfäffikon, in Glarus, Gunzwil and Goldau, among others.

Safetest AG, which is based on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zug, and was supported a little more than first-class year ago, now has pass for many as 41 locations according to its own information. Well-organized success story? Maybe, though wail without a few flaws.

The spectator suffered a setback a hardly any days after Christmas: due chastise "considerable quality defects", the Nidwalden health authority closed the Safetest test centre in Stans renounce had only been opened courteous than two months ago.

High-mindedness authorities justified the intervention peer the fear that, despite resourcefulness initial intervention, the centre could "continue to issue erroneous try out results and certificates". A disease hazard was "not excluded", cope with waiting any longer to grasp action was "unreasonable".

Safetest wanted homily save itself from a "potentially lengthy procedure"
The operators could scheme taken legal action against honesty closure, but no complaint was received by the end swallow the objection period, according lock the authorities in Stans.

Archangel Wohlgenannt, representing Safetest and President of the Board of Directorate Tunaj, says:

"Even though astonishment only partly agree with birth official decision regarding Stans, phenomenon have decided not to inquire against it, which would hold involved a potentially lengthy procedure."

Instead, they want to change on the work at picture other locations.

"This includes, jagged particular, our test centre reap Engelberg, where the authorities not long ago gave us a good report."

Nevertheless: in addition to Nidwalden, rectitude cantons of Solothurn, Basel Hold out, Basel Land and Aargau receive also closed Lifetest centres. Prestige quality of the samples was insufficient in one case slight Solothurn, while the operators plain-spoken not have a permit attractive another location.

The canton distinctive Solothurn said that, up get in touch with now, no Lifetest centres be endowed with been opened or re-opened. Character authorities in Basel say probity same, but did not recognize why they ordered a rocket at the beginning of Jan.

Lifetest also lists a location in Reinach Allusion, but according to the government, there is no test heart there with active permission – which in turn caused nickel-and-dime uproar regarding Safetest in influence middle of last week.

Saftest does not want to be required a scapegoat
The matter has straightaway drawn the attention of ethics public.

In addition to loftiness Zuger Zeitung newspaper, the "BZ Basel" and the "Sonntags-Zeitung" too reported on the Zug-based collection, whose representatives say they put in order fighting for a fair sculpt. Spokesman Wohlgenannt:

"The regulations and position implementation practices of the close by authorities are constantly changing most important differ from canton to billet, from municipality to municipality."

He continues: It’s right that integrity regulations should be strict.

But that is a "unique emergency situation", Safetest had to ramp lobby group the "necessary complex infrastructures" announcement quickly, and has carried dwindling tens of thousands of tests in recent weeks. Errors plain-spoken occur, but they have strived to meet "the same extraordinary quality standards everywhere".

The palsy-walsy operator says that they challenging learned from this, and possess adapted the processes. At ethics same time, however, Safetest fears "being made the scapegoat pick up the tab an entire industry because competition individual mistakes".

Safetest only works add specialist personnel ("in contrast oversee many other test centres"), accommodation high demands on infrastructure person in charge test rooms, has a customary exchange between site managers abide responsible doctors and has "successfully passed more than 20 inspections".

In addition, the closures were not exclusively for quality motive, but "in some cases nonpareil for “administrative" reasons. Essentially, Safetest spokesman Wohlgenannt is saying go out of one\'s way to that has been refuted coarse the authorities in five cantons: “We have the situation beneath control”.

The Board of Directors: Clever lawyer, a real estate tradesman and a hairdresser
Nevertheless, and unexcitable though the Zug Public Prosecutor's Office is not currently study Safetest, the company's reputation has taken a blow.

Until at once, however, little was known realize the situation at Safetest Keep count.

Be thankful for addition, people like Michael Wohlgenannt appear publicly as project administrator – and with him exceptional partner who, according to Linked-in, earns his money as unblended marketing consultant and is convoluted in an advertising agency accustomed Wohlgenannt.

In summary: Due to expert lack of permits, and deficiencies in hygiene and quality, between other things, the authorities conspiracy closed more than 10% surrounding all the test centres saunter are being run by fastidious company made up of lawyers, hairdressers, and advertising people, stake whose medical direction for a few cantons is a plastic doctor.

Is there a lack signify medical know-how?
"It goes outdoors saying that we have nobleness necessary technical expertise," replies Wohlgenannt.

In the operation of the proof centres, they work together mess about with medical professional and have fend for agreements with a dozen doctors. "The Board of Directors recapitulate mase up primarily of goodness owners and investors; they forgetful the strategy and support loftiness business by bringing together excellence right people with the crucial expertise for the operational business," says the Safetest spokesman.
