Located in Albufeira, Almancil, Olhão, Portimão, Vilamoura and Faro, these new units are only targeted for people who wish to take the test in private health care. This service doesn’t include free National Health Service co-payment tests or insurance co-payment tests.
Tests are performed through nasopharyngeal (swab), with no need for fasting or special preparation. PCR test results are sent in 24h-48h, and antigen test results are available in 1 to 2 hours. Results are sent by email and/or to a SYNLAB Access app, available in six languages, including Portuguese and English.
At a time when the number of cases in the Algarve has been growing, and with many people at this season coming to the Algarve to spend their holidays, these units are an important contribution to tracking and controlling the pandemic.
Schedules and contacts, as well as a complete list of SYNLAB units that perform covid-19 tests are available at www.synlab.pt. For more information, call 300 067 051 or email covid19@synlab.pt.
