Oireettoman koronatestiohjeet

You can take a COVID-19 test at Mehiläinen laboratory if you are asymptomatic and need a test for travel or an event. If you have infection symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19, you can take the test at Mehiläinen’s respiratory tract infection clinics or drive-in testing stations. Check the respiratory infection clinic and drive-in testing station locations and read the instructions.

Asymptomatic COVID-19 test – follow these steps
