The COVID-19 certificate point is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 22.12.2022. After that date, the service will be colsed and you can contact your health care center in COVID-19 matters.
CORONAVIRUS TESTS
AS A RULE, PEOPLE WITH COVID-19 SYMPTOMS TAKE A CORONA TEST AT HOME.
Only people within the risk group, pregnant women and those who work in social and health care can request a corona test appointment from their own health center. You can check with a healthcare professional if you need to take a corona test at a health center.
If you need a test to be able to travel, you need to take it at a private clinic.
The result of the home test is more reliable if the test is repeated on several consecutive days or every 2-3 days. If the home test result is negative, the test can be repeated after 2-3 days if the symptoms continue.
See the video for instructions on home testing:
