“Should I have myself tested for a SARS-CoV-2 infection?” many of us ask themselves looking at the increasing number of infections. If you want to know your status the answer is yes. The test can detect SARS-CoV-2 days before an outbreak of the COVID-19 disease at a very early stage. At this stage you are not yet infectious for other people.

The test is taken using a so-called nasopharyngeal smear, simply put – a smear from the nasopharynx with a type of cotton swab. The swab is then placed in a sample tube and analyzed by our team.
Our entire team is medically trained and will always try to make the smear as pleasant as possible - you can feel a slight pinch, but no pain. The nasopharyngeal smear is not harmful to your health!

Yes, the use of the test provided by us is safe for your health. The highest disinfection standards prevail on site at all times. Our team will only contact you in protective suits, including gloves and face masks. The swab for the smear is individually sterile packed.
