We came here for COVID-19 test for our upcoming international travel back to US as it is required by our airline carrier. Test is offered free of charge to all of Ansbach's residents.
First of all, you have to go to their website and request an appointment. It seems they only open online appointment calendar one week at a time, so you need to wait at least one week out to schedule your appointment. There must be 15 appointments available per 15-minute segment, so they can schedule quite a bit.
When we arrived the parking lot closest to the testing site was full, so we had to park a little further away. It used to be only for COVID-19 testing, but now they offer COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination tent is next to the parking lot, and testing tent is a little further away. It looked like the line for vaccination is longer than the testing. In fact, when we went in the testing tent, there was only one person at the registration desk (there were two stations, but only one was being used).
Your registration QR code (from online appointment request) was scanned, ID check, your contact information verified, and you were given a tube with your registration sticker with a testing swab. Then, you just have to step in to the testing booth and get your tongue swabbed. It only took a few seconds.
Well, silly me...I made a mistake of chewing a gum, so I had to wait 10-15 minutes before they could swab my tongue. I will remember this next time. I believe a person got turned around because she smoked right before she came in for testing. She was told to come back for testing later...
It is a very efficient operation. Everyone was very nice. read more
