The FOPH recommends that all persons with COVID-19 symptoms undergo a test. At the test centre at the Klinik Stephanshorn emergency room, COVID-19 swab tests (not rapid tests) are taken daily from 7.30 to 10.30 a.m. and from 12.30 to 3 p.m. by appointment. Therefore, we only perform coronavirus swab testing if you have made a prior appointment. The appointment includes a short evaluation and the swab test.
Please register below via the online appointment system and select your desired appointment time. You will receive confirmation by email.
Currently, we require up to 72 hours for the test results. You will receive the test result via email and SMS code directly from the laboratory. We do not offer rapid tests.
After the test you must isolate yourself immediately until you receive your test result from us.
The Coronavirus Test Centre is open to persons aged 16 years and older. Younger patients must go to a paediatrician.
Please note the separate access road to the emergency room where the test centre is located and use the parking spaces along Brauerstrasse.
