While some testers charge 57.50 francs, elsewhere it is up to 140. An official Zurich test center charges twice what the federal government specifies.

Before visiting the grandma, do you have a corona quick test to be on the safe side? That can be expensive – depending on the provider. If you pay for your own test, you should compare the prices, because the differences are big: In some test centers the test costs up to 130 or 140 francs. Elsewhere, however, it is already available for 57.50 francs, which is less than half the price.
The rapid antigen tests provide a result within 15 to 20 minutes. According to the BAG, they are not only suitable for people with symptoms. The federal government bears the costs for them anyway. People without symptoms can also be tested. But if you do a quick test purely on your own initiative, you have to pay for it yourself. How much this can cost is not regulated – unlike tests paid for by the federal government: Here the price is 57.50 francs.
