Regarding Patreksfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur: Currently, we cannot offer this screening test in Patreksfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. However, if you have already gone through second screening, and you have any reason to think you might have Covid, call us and we will set up a screening test. This can be either because you feel symptoms associated with the disease or someone you have been in contact with has tested positive.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Second border screening<\/h2>\n
Everyone who comes from abroad must now go through two border screenings, the second one 4-6 days after arrival in the country. Among other things, this screening is carried out on \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. <\/div>\n
The screening takes place on weekdays at 10:00 am. <\/div>\n
Book in advance by calling 450-4500 or by using the online chat in the right corner of our website. <\/div>\n
The screening takes place outdoors in the basement of the hospital (see photos). You can arrive on foot or by car. The screening is free. <\/div>\n
Do not enter the hospital. Together, we need to reduce all possible risks of infection inside the institution. <\/div>\n
So far, it is not possible to offer the border screening at Patreksfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. However, general sampling is available. This means that if you have completed the second screening and have the slightest suspicion that you have the virus, for example due to symptoms or that someone you have been in contact with has been diagnosed, you should get in touch so you can get a sample taken as soon as possible. <\/div>\n
