Saturday and Sunday: Book a Covid-19 Test in Braga

We are open at the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) for free rapid antigen tests at the SEPRI Drive Thru in Braga.
The hours on Saturday and Sunday are from 8.30am to 12.30pm in the morning and from 2pm to 6pm in the afternoon.

How can you take the free tests?

Currently, up to 4 rapid tests per month can be carried out free of charge for each user, by prior appointment. Before the test, the user signs an informed consent stating that they have not yet carried out more than the 4 tests/month currently provided for in the exceptional reimbursement scheme.

Free Covid-19 Test Appointment (Subsidized)

Book the test by calling 932 467 755 (SEPRI BRAGA) or 917 597 297 (SEPRI Households).
You can also request an appointment by e-mail to  testescovid19@sepri.pt always indicating: full name, health insurance number, date of birth, municipality of residence and telephone number to be contacted.

Where can you do the (free) reimbursed tests at the weekend?

  • You can take the Covid-19 screening test at our Drive Thru, without having to leave your car, near the center of Braga. Location: Cepsa fuel station car park, just past the Braga train station tunnel.

  • You can also take the test at home: have a health professional come to your home and carry out the rapid antigen test, which is reimbursed by the NHS, in complete comfort.
    There is a travel fee.

What happens after the test and how do I get the results?

SEPRI sends the test result to the user by e-mail between 15′ and 60 minutes after the event.
This response time may change during peak seasons.

The result obtained is not only communicated to the user, but is also registered on the SINAVElab platform. If the test result is negative, users can then request the issuance of an EU Digital Covid Certificate on the SNS 24 portal, which makes it easier for people to move in and out of Portugal, as well as access certain spaces and events.
