You should call a doctor or the Gesundheitsamt (public health service) if you experience respiratory problems (e.g. coughing, sneezing, sore throat, etc.). In an emergency please call 112.
More details
The doctor decides whether testing is neccessary. You should self-isolate until you get the result.
That means:
- stay at home
- maintain a distance of at least two metres from other people
- wash your hands frequently and thoroughly
- preferably wear a face mask when meeting with other people
The Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung [Federal Centre for Health Education] offers detailed information in German about what to do in case of a suspected coronavirus infection and during self-isolation at www.infektionsschutz.de.
Check your symptoms
With just a few clicks on the "CovApp" developed by the Charité, Berlin, you can check whether your symptoms are related to corona and what you should do. A digital questionnaire will guide you to the answer. The app also includes lots of tips on how to protect yourself and others from a coronavirus infection.
