Staying healthy

• You can pick up free PCR gargle tests from many supermarkets in Tirol.
• This video explains how the PCR gargle tests work. You must be able to provide an address in Tirol where you are staying if you wish to use this service.
• Do-it-yourself lateral flow tests taken at home can now only be used for private purposes - they can no longer be used as proof of a negative Covid-19 status to access places such as bars, restaurants, leisure facilities, etc. For this, you must go to an official test centre and take a lateral flow test there.
• Speak to your accommodation provider for information on your nearest Covid-19 test centre.

Since 1 August 2022 the mandatory period of self-isolation for people who have tested positive has been replaced by restrictions on movements and contacts. These are the rules if you test positive:

• You must wear a mask when meeting other people (except outdoors, where you must maintain a distance of two metres)
• You may not enter specific settings such as hospitals, care homes, primary schools and childcare facilities.
• These restrictions on movements and contacts begin when you test positive (including a positive lateral flow test). If, however, you then take a PCR test which is negative then the restrictions on movements and contacts are lifted.
• If a positive lateral flow test is confirmed by a PCR test you will be subject to the restrictions on movements and contacts for five days. If after these five days you take a test and have a CT value over 30, the restrictions are lifted.
• The restrictions on movements and contacts last for a maximum of 10 days.

You must wear an FFP2 mask at all times when in the following situations:

• When not in your own home.
• When having contact with other people in closed indoor spaces.
• When outdoors if you are unable to maintain a distance of two metres to other people.
• When on public transport.
• When in private vehicles if there is a chance you may share them with other people.
• When taking part in gatherings with people from other households.
• You must not visit high-risk settings where there are vulnerable people (for example old people's homes, healthcare facilities, etc.).
• The restrictions on movements and contacts apply for five days. From day five they can be lifted if you test negative.

• It is not possible to make general statements about how much treatment will cost and who will pay for it.
• Please contact your health or travel insurance.

Information on travel insurance with additional COVID-19 cover can also be found in the section In advance.
