What will you receive?

By donating your biological material (nasopharyngeal swab), you will receive a package of free test results, including:

  • SARS-CoV-2
  • RSV
  • Influenza type A and type B

The collected material will be tested on the same day, and we will promptly provide you with the test results. You can expect to receive the results securely via e-mail or you can choose to collect them in person at the laboratory.

You can apply a cold compress to the root of the nose or neck and gently press the wings of the nose with your fingers.
