When to test?
Persons over the age of 12 must be vaccinated, recovered or tested to gain entry to food service, lodging, events and recreational facilities. Testing is not required if one of the following verifications is available.
- Recovered persons:
- Segregation notice due to Covid 19 disease valid for 6 months.
- Physician's confirmation of a passed-through infection is valid for 6 months
- Proof of neutralizing antibodies valid for 3 months
- Vaccinated individuals:
- From the 22nd day after the first vaccination, proof of vaccination is valid for 3 months
- Patients who had a Covid-19 infection prior to vaccination, the first vaccination is valid for 9 months
- From the second vaccination, the proof of vaccination is valid for 9 months from the first vaccination
- For vaccinations where only one injection is scheduled, this 9 month proof applies to admissions
- As of August 15, vaccination is not considered proof of a low epidemiological risk until immunization is complete. Evidence will be issued from the date of the 2nd vaccination. Regulations for persons vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson and for recovered and tested persons remain unchanged.
What tests can be presented in food service or lodging establishments and how long are they valid?
- Negative PCR test: 72 hours
- Negative antigen test under supervision: 48 hours
- Negative antigen test for self-testing with digital solution ("living room test"): 24 hours
- NEW: Self-tests taken directly on site at a catering or lodging establishment also entitle the holder to access - but only for that one visit to that establishment.
In principle, a negative test on arrival is sufficient for accommodation establishments. If the guest uses additional services such as wellness treatments or in the restaurant, a new negative test must be presented after expiration of the validity.
