Testing and Screening
Last update: 22/07/2022The Prince’s Government has set up a National Screening Center. It is located on the ground floor of the Rainier III Auditorium.
The aim is to regulate and co-ordinate PCR testing in order to optimise the time taken to obtain results.
This screening centre is open to all Monegasques, Monegasque residents or those with social insurance in Monaco or students attending school in Monaco, with or without an appointment.
With or without an appointment:
Symptomatic or asymptomatic,
- Monegasque patients or residents must bring their identity card and a mask
- Non-Monegasque patients, salaried employees or non-resident schoolchildren must bring their identity card, a medical prescription for screening and a mask
- Patients who are minors and are not systematically accompanied by their legal representative or have parental authorisation (document to be downloaded here), will not be screened
For any question, the covid19 call centre answers you at 92.05.55.00
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.
More information on the SALIVARY test
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.
