5. In preparation for a trip
In general
When planning a trip abroad, it is important to find out about the requirements of the destination country and, if applicable, of the transport company, as well as the FOPH requirements for re-entry into Switzerland depending on the country where you have stayed.
The requirements of each country vary and are likely to change depending on the evolution of their epidemic situation. It is therefore necessary to keep yourself informed right up to your travel dates.

You will find hereafter a list of screening centres sorted by age category, as well as all the information you need to get tested : contact details, opening hours and days, types of tests performed, with or without appointment.
