Corona test centre

Opening hours

The test centre at Klinik Permanence is open Monday to Friday from 13:00 - 16:00. The test centre is closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Registration form

Please bring the completed registration form with you or send it in advance to mpa.permanence@hirslanden.ch. 

Registration

You can drop in for a test without an appointment. This may result in longer waiting times. When you arrive at the Permanence Clinic, follow the path to the test centre (please do not enter the clinic). Patients from outside the canton can also be tested in our test centre.

According to the FOPH guidelines, children under 6 years of age need an official or medical prescription for the test. Without such a document, no test will be carried out or it must be paid for by the child. Also, children under the age of 16 must be tested in the company of a parent.

Further, our tests are done by nasopharyngeal swab (there are no spit tests or throat swab only tests). Therefore, we recommend contacting the paediatrician for children under 14 years of age.

PCR test

You will receive the test result of the PCR test within 2-3 working days by e-mail and positive results by telephone.

Rapid test

You will receive positive test results of the rapid test within 2 hours by telephone and negative results within 1 working day by telephone or e-mail. 

After a corona test, quarantine applies. This is valid until the test result is available or as ordered by the FOPH. Please stay at home until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours, even if the test result is negative. See the FOPH's instructions on quarantine.

In the event of a positive result, you must isolate yourself and will be contacted by us and by the cantonal medical office by telephone. See the FOPH's instructions on isolation.
