Are home/self tests an option?
I mean if it's just about knowing it yourself so that you can get yourself PCR tested when you known you likely have it (and as such might soon need medical support).
That seems like a valid option for me, though only if available and hospitalized reasonable priced.
For be the difference between self-tests rapid tests and test station rapid tests seem to mainly be:
- if you have self-test
- if you can afford it (test station rapid tests are up to some limit payed by health care, in my case)
- if you need the digital certificate that you did a tests (some places require vaccination + test)
- self-test produce more wast through additional packaging, non-reusable plastic tubes etc.
