COVID-19 Testing

We are currently only offering COVID-19 testing to those without symptoms. We do testing for both children and adults. Please book a separate appointment for each person. If you currently have symptoms, and need a COVID-19 test, we kindly ask that you contact one of the other test centers in Zürich.

We perform a consultation for each client before your test, during which a medical professional can address your individual situation and recommend which test to take. This consultation is included in the cost of the test. Exception: If you need the test for a trip, please find out in advance which test is required by the respective country.

The current recommendations from the BAG on testing can be found here.

If you do not know if you need a test or if you have any other medical questions, please contact the Federal Office of Public Health Infoline (058 463 00 00).

If you are tested with us for a COVID-Certificate, and the test is negative, you will receive your certificate via email with your test result.

There are however a few instances where a certicate may not be issued even in the event of a negative test. These are if:

• you are experiencing coronavirus symptoms.
• you have been in close contact with a confirmed case.
• the government pays for your test to visit a healthcare institution.
• you need a PCR test to confirm the result of a Rapid Antigen Test.

In December 2022, the Swiss Parliament decided that from 1 January 2023 onwards, the costs of COVID-19 tests would no longer be met by the Swiss Confederation. So from 1 January 2023 onwards you must pay for such tests yourself.

Rapid Antigen Tests

Rapid antigen tests are performed via a nasopharyngeal swab. Rapid Antigen Tests cost 36 CHF. Payment must be made at the time of your visit. We accept cash, Twint and all major debit and credit cards (except American Express).

PCR Tests

PCR tests are performed via a nasopharyngeal swab. For children up to 12 years of age, the PCR test can also be performed with a saliva sample "spit test".

IMPORTANT: In order for the spit test to be as accurate as possible, please do not eat or drink anything for at least one hour before the test.

We test both children and adults. If you would like to come as a family for a test, this is no problem,  but we ask that you book a separate appointment for each person.

Please always bring your health insurance card or the details of your health insurance (insurance number, card number). We need this information even if your test will be free of charge. If you do not have Swiss health insurance,  please bring your identification card.

For the PCR Test: If the test was performed before 12:00, you will receive the result no later than 17:00 on the same day. If the test was performed after 12:00, you will receive the result by 12:00 the next day at the latest. Please call us at +41 44 634 60 00 or write us if you have not received a result within the given time frame.

For the Rapid Antigen Test: You will receive the result by e-mail usually within 30 minutes (max 2 hours). If you have not received your result two hours after the test, please call us at 044 634 60 00 or write us here.
