Student testing:

1. Self-tests at school are conducted at the times listed below; no self-tests are conducted outside of these times. In case you decide to use self-testing in the school building, you must allow sufficient time (registration, collection, evaluation and issuance of the certificate). Antigen tests are provided by the school. For the reasons mentioned above, we recommend that you have the collection arranged in advance, see paragraph 2.
2. The student can use one of the sampling centres in the Czech Republic, the nearest sampling centre is Letňany (AG covidpoint - OC Letňany), where testing is carried out by means of a POC antigen test for the presence of SARS-Cov-2 virus antigen or RT-PCR test for the presence of SARS-Cov-2 virus by a health care provider.

In the event of non-compliance with the above conditions, the student may not participate in the course.

The times are updated weekly according to the start of the teaching blocks.
