With effect from June 30, unprovoked corona tests on asymptomatic people – so-called citizen tests – will be restricted.
The district office gives an overview.
Fürstenfeldbruck - The district authority refers to the Third Amendment Ordinance of the Federal Coronavirus Test Ordinance (TestV) announced on June 29th.
Certain groups only
From now on, only certain groups of people are entitled to a free rapid test, such as those who have been proven to be infected, contact persons of infected people, people in vulnerable facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes, or people who want to have a positive rapid antigen test confirmed (see here for a complete overview).
Appropriate proof must always be submitted, but federal guidelines are still expected, according to the district office.

Bavaria has already announced that it will implement the obligation to provide evidence of free corona tests with the lowest possible level of evidence, for example for caring relatives.
Out of pocket
The other persons who are entitled to take a test and who are not entitled to a free test will in future have to pay a personal contribution of 3 euros from their own funds for a citizen test.
This includes, for example, people who want to attend an indoor event on the day of the test or who have received a warning with the status display increased risk on the Corona-Warn-App.
district testing centers
According to the district office, the option provided for in the test regulation that the federal states can take over their own share was not used in Bavaria (at least as of now).
