Cost of PCR Test in hospitals

Post by kansas »

We will soon be visiting someone in hospital. In order to do so we will need a PCR test at the hospital. We're a bit out of touch, anyone know how much a PCR test costs now?

Thanks

This is the most recent announcement I can find dated 12 August which only mentions Rapid Tests.

'However, COVID-19 Rapid testing units will continue to operate outside public hospitals in all regions, between the hours of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., to service patients, visitors and staff to these hospitals, who by Decree are required to present a negative a 24-hour Rapid test result to enter.'

Thanks, Les Bean, very helpful. We hadn't considered that. We'll check closer to the time of our visit.

We've just found out that in this private hospital in Nicosia, the PCR tests are €30 each, and the patients are allowed multiple visitors - obviously all with negative PCR tests.

No problem, Les, we'll call the hospital before we visit to make sure of the procedure. Thanks for your help.
