When a person becomes infected with a coronavirus, the virus can be detected by a coronavirus PCR test (so called coronavirus test). The test reveals coronavirus in the early stages of the disease. The coronavirus can also be excreted in a person who is asymptomatic. Therefore, for example in Koronavilkku detected exposure situations, asymptomatic people are also examined.

To get tested, you always need a doctor’s referral and an appointment.
