Gauselmann tests 800 staff members for virus

While politicians in Germany are still debating who picks up the tab for the virus testing of people returning from holidays, the Gauselmann Group, major German gaming machine producer and operator, is taking control of its own situation.

The company has carried out free Covid-19 tests at its factories in Espelkamp and Lübbecke, beginning with the company founder Paul Gauselmann. 

Working with a hospital in Minden, over 800 employees have been tested on a voluntary basis over a three-day period and every one was negative.
