There are more and more rapid test centers in Bremen and Bremerhaven. Most operators have a similar process: register, take a swab and wait for the result.
If the test result is negative, the operator issues a certificate of the result – with all information about the test, the data of the person tested and the exact test time. If the test is corona-positive, a PCR test follows. Until this result is there, the tested person has to go into domestic isolation. Only the positive PCR result is communicated to the health department and is included in the country’s corona statistics.
1 Rapid tests in the MVZ Bremen-Mitte
The test center in Bremen-Mitte in the back yard of the medical care center offers the rapid tests. There you can be tested without registering. Teachers and daycare employees are already familiar with this, as many of them have been tested there. The test result is obtained after around 20 minutes – if there is no waiting time.
Address: Except for Schleifmühle 64, 28203 Bremen, appointments without registration or under: (0211) 271011919
2 The test center at Bremen Airport
At the test center at Bremen Airport you neither have to register nor prepare: “It’s very simple,” says Jan Wolters, operator of the test center. First the personal details are recorded. The operators do this in order to be able to compare that Bremer cannot be tested multiple times.
This is followed by the corona test with a throat and nose swab. According to the operators, the result is there after 15 minutes.
Address: Testcenter Airport Bremen, Flughafenallee 20, 28361 Bremen, appointments without registration
3 The Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians tests …
The Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians currently offers two test centers – one of them in the Vahr. The following applies there: An appointment must be booked online beforehand. The test centers do this in order to avoid long queues and to be able to comply with distance and hygiene rules. An insurance card or ID is required for a test. This will read in the data. A doctor will take a throat and nose swab there.
The newly tested person receives a slip of paper and has to wait around 30 minutes. During this time he has to leave the test center and should go for a walk outside. After the waiting time, the test result can be picked up at the dispensing counter.
Address: Coronaambulanz Bremen-Stadt, Vahrer Straße 228, 28329 Bremen, appointments only with registration
