Germany: one quick swab per week for free
German citizens can take a free quick test once a week (twice for teachers and students attending face-to-face courses). The need for a molecular test is instead decided by a doctor. The cost (50.50 euros) is borne by the insurance companies. The swab can also be done at the airport but the costs (between 128 and 150 euros) are borne by the traveler. In some cities, such as Berlin and Amsterdam, you can access free tests even if you are a foreigner.
