What to do you if you suspect that you have COVID-19 and want to get tested quickly
To get tested, you always need a doctor’s referral and an appointment.
- Enter your information in our chatbot Terveysbotti and make an appointment with a sample collection point at least half an hour in advance. Our professionals will verify your information.
- Walk or drive to the testing point.
- The estimated time to receive the result is 1–3 days, and once the result is obtained it will be immediately available also in the Oma Terveys service. The time it takes to get the result may vary depending on the city, sample collection time and sample transport. During this time, the tested person needs to stay in quarantine-like conditions at home.
- The price of the coronavirus test is EUR 235 for private customers, and it is reimbursed by Kela. The Kela reimbursement is EUR 100 and the price after the Kela reimbursement is EUR 135. More information about coronavirus testing at Terveystalo.
- If you test positive for COVID-19, you´ll receive instructions from Terveystalo. If necessary, an expert from Terveystalo will call you with instructions for further treatment. The price for referral to further treatment is EUR 36.

Flu clinics and separate coronavirus testing spots
We have introduced special precautions in our Flu clinics specializing in the treatment of patients with symptoms of respiratory tract infection. A nurse wearing protective equipment meets customers outside the clinic, offers them hand sanitizer and directs customers with respiratory tract symptoms to a separate waiting area. Our staff has been trained for special circumstances, and they will instruct you.
