Availability of free quick-tests in Wiesbaden A press release of the city of Wiesbaden confirms that members of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Wiesbaden are eligible to receive the free COVID-19 quick-tests starting Monday, Mar. 15. The German Federal Government had announced in their summit on Mar. 3 that free COVID-19 quick-tests were to be made available to German residents once a week. The city of Wiesbaden stated in a press release from Mar. 12 that the tests will be available in several tests centers and other locations throughout the city starting Monday, Mar. 15. In the press release, the city explains that every citizen with residence in the Federal Republic of Germany is entitled to at least one quick-test per week. “This right also applies to persons of foreign nationality, even if they are only temporarily living here. For Wiesbaden, this also applies to members of the American Armed Forces,” the release stated. The costs for the tests are paid by the German Federal Government. Head of the Citizen’s Department of the Lord Mayor’s Office of Wiesbaden, CarlMichael Baum, advises that members of the U.S. Armed
Forces should present a form of identification and their SOFA card when requesting the test, but only if asked. However, the release also reminds that if a quick-test result is positive, it is mandatory that the tested person takes a PCR test as soon as possible and goes into quarantine until the receipt of the PCR test result.
Quick-tests can be taken in one of the following Wiesbaden test centers: •
