“First go shopping, then go to Mäcces, and then get the Corona test!” – No, it’s not that easy.
The English “ Daily Mail ” has more of a reputation as a tabloid, which is why we received a few requests for an article, but it is true: In fact, there are even several drive-ins in Germany where you can get tested for the new coronavirus can!

Where are drive-ins like this?
At the moment, tests are being carried out in some places to see how well the process works, but the first test centers are already in the Esslingen and Böblingen , in Karlsruhe and in Munich , and others may follow.
Can I just drive there like that?
No. The name “Drive-in” actually just means that you can drive your car there, but you can’t do anything without an appointment!
In addition, this would be rather disadvantageous: a long queue of people waiting, several of whom may actually be infected, would promote the spread of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
What is the procedure?
First, you can get a diagnosis over the phone from your family doctor or from the medical on-call service (telephone number 116117). They go through a standardized questionnaire to make sure whether and how great the risk of infection actually exists.
If the result is positive, you will receive a code with which you can then be tested for the new coronavirus at one of the drive-ins within a certain time window, either by car or on foot. At least in the Essen and Böblingen districts, you also have to register with the health department, which decides whether a test is approved.

Conclusion
Depending on the opening times, up to 100 swab tests can be carried out in such a drive-in per day.
The advantages of the method are obvious: you don't sit in a cramped waiting room, but rather isolate yourself in your own car, which provides great security for everyone waiting. You can't infect anyone or be infected by other people waiting.
