Setra inter-city bus as a mobile COVID-19 testing station

Stuttgart / #muhlhausen. Daimler Buses is supporting the fight against the Covid-19 virus by providing a COVID-19 testing #bus. In the coming months, the S 416 LE business inter-city #bus that was converted at the Neu-Ulm site in only four weeks, will be used by the Huber Group Holding SE as a mobile testing station at schools, residential care homes and companies. "Mobile testing of nursing staff and employees, for example, is possible in the #bus," says Thomas Görtler, Business Development Manager at the company in #muhlhausen which is using the #setra #bus on loan from Daimler Buses. The vehicle is thus part of the fully digitised testing process of the Huber Group, which provides safe and efficient implementation of Covid-19 testing thanks to its comprehensively networked infrastructure solution. 

The test persons enter the 13-metre long low-entry #setra MultiClass at the rear entrance where personal data can be processed and checked at a newly installed counter. The mouth and throat swab tests are then carried out in the front section of the vehicle. The #bus is also equipped with an awning to protect from rain and a stationary heater. Using the Wi-Fi on-board, data from the test persons and their tests is entered into a database in encrypted form, guaranteeing results can be processed and accessed quickly. After about only 90 seconds the process is complete and those tested can leave the #bus by the front entrance. The result of the PCR test process is available within 24 hours. 

The Huber Group operates fully digitised stationary Covid-19 testing stations. Thanks to the #setra inter-city #bus that has been converted into a mobile facility, testing is now more flexible.
