Testing for Active Infection with SARS-CoV-2 by Detection of Viral RNA
CeGaT offers tests for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen: The coronavirus test verifies suspicions of infection with the novel coronavirus. Furthermore, under certain conditions, certificates of a negative corona test are required, e.g., in the context of an upcoming journey.
For the test, swabs from the nasopharynx are taken and examined for viral RNA, using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology. The method multiplies the genetic material of the virus to such an extent that even the smallest amounts of the virus can be detected, and an infection can be diagnosed early in the course of the disease.

Data entry
To speed up the process at the Corona test stations and to reduce waiting times, we ask you to enter your data before visiting the test station. To do this, enter all the required data in the predefined form. After completing the data entry, you will receive a QR code, which you will need for on-site registration. If you are using a mobile device for data entry, you can simply save the barcode you receive and show it during registration. If you are using a different device for data entry, the barcode must be printed out in advance and be brought to the test center. Your data will only be used to generate a QR code and will not be saved.
