FAQ
Testing
What is a PCR test?
This test procedure detects the genetic material of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). If the test is positive, there is an infection with the virus. The PCR laboratory test is considered to be the safest way to detect an infection.
Material from the mouth, nose or throat is required for the smear. Obtaining material from the deep throat is important, so a swab causes a brief gag reflex in most people. If the material is not removed from the correct location, the test will be evaluated as “invalid” in the laboratory.
What is a rapid antigen test?
The rapid antigen test shows a result after approx. 30 minutes. In order for it to display a valid result, a larger amount of virus is required compared to the PCR test, as the test has a lower sensitivity. Due to the lower sensitivity, a negative antigen rapid test result does not rule out an infection with SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, a positive antigen rapid test result must also be confirmed with a PCR test.
What is a Lolli Pool PCR Test?
The Lolli Pool PCR test is carried out in schools and daycare centers.
Children and caregivers suck on a swab like a lollipop for 30 seconds. The saliva test is easy to carry out and therefore ensures a high level of acceptance among children.
The swabs of the children and the staff of a group / class are collected in a common tube (“pool”).
The samples are brought to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, all swabs are tested together on the same day using a PCR test. Testing in the pool saves resources that would not be sufficient for regular individual tests.
POOL-PCR NEGATIVE
No evidence of SARS-CoV-2.
POOL-PCR POSITIVE
At least 1 person infected.
The health department is informed by the laboratory. All children and staff from this pool must carry out an individual test using a PCR test.
How can I be sure that it has not been tested incorrectly?
In the PCR test, our samples are also checked for sufficient material on the sample. If it is determined that the sample does not contain enough material for evaluation, the test will be marked as “invalid”. A false negative result of the PCR test can thus be excluded.
Who can be tested?
We only perform the PCR and rapid antigen tests on asymptomatic people. If you have typical cold symptoms or symptoms of a Covid 19 infection (sore throat, dry cough, fever, etc.), please contact your family doctor.

Can / may you get vaccinated if you are currently suffering from COVID-19?
If you have a known and acute infection, you should go into quarantine and initially avoid vaccination. The tolerance of the vaccination is not negatively influenced by a possibly hidden acute infection.
