Information on free covid-19 tests and medicines
1. Free covid-19 tests
Below is a list of points where free Covid-19 tests are taking place:
Attention: In order to have a free test at any of the following points you must have covid-19 related symptoms (e.g. runny nose, dry cough, fever and breathing difficulty) or to have come into contact with a confirmed case (where the possibility of testing is examined on a case-by-case basis).
