Bremen specific information is available here.
There are currently no nationwide standards for the transmission of test results. Therefore, it may vary from region to region. If you did a rapid test in an official test center, you generally receive the result directly at the test center with the appropriate certificate. Test results may also be transmitted via e-mail, SMS, personal phone calls, via the official Website https://www.mein-laborergebnis.de.
Generally, test results are transmitted after a short waiting time. You can retrieve the test result as a digital certificate in German/English/French via app or alternatively as a printout.
We therefore recommend installing the official "Corona-Warn-App" of the German government on your smartphone.
In case a student gets tested positive for COVID-19, we kindly ask him/her/they to inform Constructor University immediately by e-mail: healthinfo@constructor.university. We kindly ask all students to follow this voluntary process since an immediate information flow is of the utmost importance in taking all precautions to contain a further spread of the virus on campus.
We recommend the entire Constructor University Community to use the official "Corona-Warn-App" to fight the spread of COVID-19.
The Corona-Warn-App helps us to determine whether we have had any contact with an infected person which could result in a risk of catching the virus. This way, we can interrupt chains of infection more quickly. The app is a service by the Federal Government. Download and use of the app are entirely voluntary and free of charge. It is available as download in the Apple App Store as well as in Google Play. The app is supporting German, English, Turkish, Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian and Ukrainian language settings. The respective language of the app is based on the system language setting of your smartphone.
Country availability
Currently, most corona apps are only available in the respective app stores of each country. This is due to the fact that the users mostly live in the respective country. Also, the processes behind the app, including those related to testing, are based on the respective national health structures.
The official “Corona-Warn-App” for Germany is available to download in all national app stores in the European Union, as well as in Switzerland, Norway, Great Britain and Turkey (see RKI list of countries here).
If your Apple Store or your Google Play is set to another than these countries you will have to switch your country settings manually in order to download and use the Corona-Warn-App.
- Apple App Store
- Google Play
The Bremen Health Office is recommending the following procedure:
Official "Corona-Warn-App"
- Download the official “Corona-Warn-App”
- During the COVID-19 test you will receive a written confirmation with an individual QR code. This is directly linked to your test sample and is also sent to the laboratory.
- By scanning the QR code with the official "Corona-Warn-App" (see below) you can set up an automatic notification when your test result is available.
- Official Website “mein-laborergebnis.de“
- Enter the multi-digit QR number you received during the COVID-19 test on the website www.mein-laborergebnis.de
- Check if your test result is already available.
It will take about 24-72 hours until the test result is available. Your data will only be transmitted if you have agreed to this. If you have further questions on how to use the official “Corona-Warn-App”, please check out the FAQ set up for the App here.
