Testing and Screening

Dernière modification le 28/03/2023

As a continuation of the reduction of the system and after more than three years of activity, the Government of Monaco announces the closure of the centres dedicated to the management of the health crisis, located at the Rainier III Auditorium.

The covid-19 call centre, the screening centre, the home monitoring centre and the epidemiological investigation unit will close their doors on the evening of 31st March 2023, thus putting an end to the epidemiological monitoring and PCR tests organised by the Government of Monaco.

From that date onwards, people wishing to carry out a PCR test will have to go to the town laboratory of their choice. The pharmacies will continue to offer Rapid Antigenic Tests.

PCR test

This test allows you to determine, by taking a sample from the nose, if you are infected at the time of the testing. It is then analyzed in the laboratory. The results are generally available within 48 hours.

To take the test, I must contact the Call Center at 92.05.55.00 so that it can register my request. Then I will be contacted directly by the National Screening Center (Auditorium Rainier III) to arrange an appointment for my screening.

ANTIGEN test

This test, also carried out from a nasal sample, looks for proteins on the surface of the virus. They are only detectable if the virus is present. It does not need to be analyzed in the laboratory and the results are available between 10 and 30 minutes.

To take the test, I must go to one of the pharmacies on the searchable list by clicking here.

SALIVA test

It is not strictly a test but a type of sample. Instead of looking for the virus in the nasopharynx as usual, a saliva sample is used. The reference technique for the detection of Covid-19 remains RT-PCR as for the nasopharyngeal sample.

SELF test

The self-tests make it possible to know whether or not one is positive for Covid-19 thanks to a nasal swab, but shallower and therefore less unpleasant than the usual PCR or antigen tests. Be careful, they are not sufficient on their own: in the event of a positive test, a PCR test will be necessary to confirm it if necessary.

TROD test

This is a Rapid Diagnostic Orientation Test (TROD). They are of 2 types:

TROD serological: its objective is to know if you have been in contact with the virus Antigenic nasopharyngeal
TROD: its purpose is to find out if you are infected with the virus at the time of the test

Blood test

The blood sample can be taken in an analytical laboratory. It lets you know if you have been in contact with the virus. If the test is positive, it may be necessary to perform a PCR to find out if you are still infected with the virus.

Only tests with a CE label and included on the list published on the website of the French Ministry of Health may be used.
