If you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, go immediately to Teknon for medical advice. You should isolate at home, ideally for 10 days from the onset of symptoms, and then for an additional three days after symptoms disappear. Wear a face covering if you need to go out or be near others, in order to help prevent transmission. You can currently get diagnostic tests at pharmacies or at our medical centre.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in contact with someone who tested positive, you can visit Centro Médico Teknon in Barcelona to have a COVID-19 test. If you wish to take the test, you can schedule an appointment at Centro Médico Teknon by booking an appointment with our specialists here or by phone on 93 290 62 00.

PCR testing is essential in infectious diseases such as COVID-19 to detect pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. It allows the pathogen to be identified at early stages of infection, which is crucial in order to apply appropriate measures and prevent its spread. Additionally, it allows identification and tracking of SARS-CoV-2 variants in order to understand their evolution and impact. PCR and COVID-19 tests are essential for clinical and epidemiological research to improve understanding of infectious diseases.

The decision of when to take a COVID-19 test depends on the situation. If you have symptoms, take it immediately. If you were close to someone with COVID-19, wait 3 to 5 days. After recovery, you do not need another test unless you have symptoms or your doctor advises it.

If you have symptoms, wear a mask to protect your health and that of our team. Bring your ID card or passport, which is required to confirm the information included in the test result.
