You can go to the Antwerp Central Station test centre (in commercial centre of the station) for a COVID-19 test. The result is known within 24 to 36 hours. An initiative of UZA, Altrio Thuisverpleging and Provincie Antwerpen.
Come to the test centre at the agreed time and avoid the queues. With an appointment you get priority over people waiting without an appointment. In this way, you contribute to the safety of yourself, our care providers and other people.
A test is free unless you need a travel certificate, in which case the test costs €50. You always pay on the spot with Bancontact or credit card. There is no RIZIV reimbursement.
Your test will be sent as soon as possible for analysis to the lab that works for the Federal Government: Platform BIS UZA/UAntwerp.
As soon as your result is known, you will receive a text message with your result. You can also download/print your result via mijngezondheid or CoZo. Search for your result on www.mijngezondheid.be:
Are you travelling and do you need a travel certificate? You will not receive this automatically via mail and you need to generate it yourself via www.mijngezondheid.be or the covidsafeBE-app.

Are you travelling outside the EU and do not have a Belgian national number or are you a Belgian citizen with a residential address abroad? Report this to the test centre employee and you will receive an English lab report via secure mail.
Have you just been tested for COVID-19 to travel abroad, or to attend a festival? Even with a negative test, it is important to continue to report symptoms quickly and in an accessible way. This way, a possible further spread of the virus can be slowed down in time.
You can ask for health monitoring by UZA. To do so, register with Telecovid via telecovid [at] uza [dot] be (please state your name, first name, date of birth and mobile phone number). With Telecovid, the UZA can remotely monitor your health condition with a digital diary. On the digital platform you fill in a short questionnaire every day. A medical team from UZA monitors your answers and provides guidance if symptoms persist or get worse. They can also give you advice on how to treat the symptoms. All information is treated with strict confidentiality and only the follow-up team has access to your details. This offer is free of charge for travellers and festival goers. Together we are working to continue the fight against the virus.
