With a Rapid Antigen Test result we can not completely rule out a Corona virus infection. Even with a negative test result, one should follow all infection protection measures and get re-tested often if you are in contact with people at high risk or who have increased risk of exposure. PCR tests have a higher reliability which can be performed by your doctor or at a PCR-Testing Center. We use the PoC-Covid19-Antigen-Schnelltest from Humasis, more specific information on this test can be found on the manufacturer’s Website

The sample collection time varies between individuals but is usually between 1 to 5 Minutes. The results have a processing time of 15 Minutes. If you plan to wait for a paper copy of your result you should plan about 20 Minutes in total for your visit. If you choose to have the result sent to you by email then you can plan about 10 Minutes for your visit. We ask for your understanding if there are delays due to high volume at the time of your test.

The Antigen Rapid Test is approved for samples taken from the nose or nasal pharynx. For children the sample is taken just a few centimeter inside the nose by gently sweeping the inside of each nostril 5 times. This method is painless and usually just tickles. For adults the sample is taken deeper inside the nasal cavity (nasopharynx) by gently inserting a thin swab into one nostril until it reaches the back of the nasal cavity. Though most find the test uncomfortable, the test only takes a few moments and our staff are very careful to make it as painless as possible.

You will need to go immediately into home isolation (quarantine), call the Health Department (Gesundheitsamt) to inform them that you tested positive with a Rapid Test, and you will need to get a PCR Test to confirm an infection. You will need to remain in home isolation until you receive the results of the PCR Test which you will also need to report to the Health Department.
