A driver can be tested at the Lucerne Allmend’s corona test center.
(zfo) The high positivity rate of 23.7 percent on Friday shows that currently very few people are being tested in the Canton of Lucerne, according to the Canton of Lucerne in a message. That is why Lucerne health and social director Guido Graf draws the public: “Get tested as quickly as possible if you have symptoms of Covid-19 or if the SwissCovid app notified you. He is making an important contribution to prevent the new coronavirus from spreading further. ”
The following symptoms speak of a Covid 19 disease:
- acute respiratory illness (such as cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, chest pain)
- fever
- sudden loss of smell and / or taste
- acute confusion or deterioration of general condition in the elderly.
Three cantonal test centers are currently in operation. They are open Monday through Friday from 1 pm to 7 pm
- Lucerne (Lucerne Military Training Center, AAL)
- Nottwil (headquarters of the Swiss Center for Paraplegics SPZ)
- Entlebuch (Businesspark Aentlebuch)
For safety reasons, access to the test sites is only possible by car or motorcycle. The minimum age for admission to the test is 16 years old. Registration must be done through an online form. You must bring your ID or passport and your health insurance card to the exam.
Patients will be informed by email as soon as the result is available. You can check your test result directly by SMS after verification. For this reason, personal email address and mobile phone number must be entered when registering.
