You can get a COVID-19 test at various locations depending on your area. Some common places to obtain tests include:
- Dedicated COVID-19 test centers offering PCR and rapid antigen tests, often with online appointment booking available.
- Medical practices and family doctor offices that perform PCR and antibody tests.
- Pharmacies providing free rapid lateral flow tests, especially for people at highest risk of serious illness.
- Airports with testing facilities for travelers.
- Mobile and stationary test centers available in some regions.
For example, in Frankfurt, there are centralized test centers with quick antigen tests and PCR tests with results available shortly after testing. Many centers allow online pre-registration, and some offer walk-in testing. Pharmacies also dispense rapid tests for home use, sometimes free for eligible groups.
It is advised to check local resources or health system websites for exact locations and requirements in your area.
