    Dear Forum, We are US citizens and are planning a trip for this June and July to the Swiss Alps and will fly to and from Geneva is if our stars are lined up just right. In case we will be required to have a covid test in Switzerland before flying home, does anyone know how I can find out how and where in Geneva this would be possible. I have googled the question and haven’t found an answer. In the US we can get a Covid test for travel at our large chain grocery store pharmacies. Is it possible it is similar in Geneva?

    I’m grateful for this forum and the dedicated members who are so helpful. Love reading the threads!

    Hi Shirley,

    There is a testing centre at the Geneva Airport. It is open daily but you would need to make an appointment in advance. You can find more details here: http://www.gva.ch/en/Site/Passagers/Shopping/Services/Voyages/Centre-test-COVID-19-aeroport

    Hi Shirley,

    Anna’s suggestion is probably best for you, but just in case you can also take a look at “Where to get a Covid-19 test in Switzerland?” on our page http://www.myswissalps.com/coronavirus/planning.

    I hope it all works out. Please keep us posted and feel free to ask more questions if needed!

    Dear Arno, Thank you so much for that link, it is so full of information I couldn’t stop reading and wandering. I am much more armed now with answers to questions.

    And thank you again Anna for your link to the Geneva Airport testing center and to the Corona virus.

    You both have been a huge help!!!

    My very best wishes,

    Shirley
