The corona pandemic continues to determine our lives. Relaxation, tightened measures, vacation only possible in individual countries * - there is bad news almost every day that makes our mood sink even deeper. The vaccination campaign has big problems, the rapid tests are insufficient. The demand for rapid antigen tests is huge. In addition to some supermarkets and discounters, Amazon is now also offering a rapid corona test. In addition to the rapid tests, PCR tests are the more accurate method to test for a COVID-19 infection. While in Bavaria all citizens can be tested for free, this offer is not available in the other federal states. You can now order a home
PCR test

. We'll explain how it works.
Corona tests: what is the difference between PCR tests and antigen tests?
PCR tests
are the "gold standard" among the corona tests.
These very accurate tests are usually done by medical personnel.
The PCR tests are now also available from Amazon.
PCR tests are suitable for testing people for SARS-CoV-2 or to verify a positive rapid antigen test.
Rapid antigen tests
owe their name to the rapid result.
In contrast to the PCR tests, a test result is available within a few minutes.
However, this is not as accurate as a PCR test.
If the result is positive, we recommend an additional PCR test to be on the safe side.
Rapid antigen tests are currently used in hospitals as well as old people's and nursing homes to regularly test residents and staff.
