Getting tested for COVID-19 is now easier for Rotterdammers as Spoedtest.nl opens two new rapid testing facilities in the city. The result of a rapid test is given within 30 minutes. PCR-test results take just a few hours and patients are provided with a globally recognized travel certificate.
ROTTERDAM, 9 April 2021 - This week, Spoedtest.nl is opening two new branches in Rotterdam. The location at the Ungerplein 2 marks the 60th branch of Spoedtest.nl in the Netherlands. This Saturday, the new site at Schiedamseweg 13A in Rotterdam will be opened. Together with the Bergse Dorpsstraat 26B, three Spoedtest.nl locations in Rotterdam will now offer a PCR test with a worldwide recognized travel certificate, a rapid test and/or an antibody test.
It is the ambition of Spoedtest.nl to get a good national coverage with 100 locations, so that everyone in the Netherlands can be at a Spoedtest.nl location within 20 minutes. Spoedtest.nl is a cooperation partner of Arbodienst Medprevent, which has recently been approved by the Ministry of Health to offer employers free antigen rapid tests for employees with symptoms.
Reopening the community
"We are very happy with this new milestone: no less than three Spoedtest.nl branches in Rotterdam!" said Rasmus Emmelkamp, co-founder and CEO of Spoedtest.nl. "Barely 7 months ago we started Spoedtest.nl and two branches. We already noticed that people prefer to be tested in their familiar surroundings, instead of in a container on a shunting yard. Our centrally located test sites are therefore located in empty shops or office buildings. Meanwhile, Spoedtest.nl has grown to 60 locations and over 400 well-trained employees. Arbodienst Medprevent has recently entered into a partnership with Spoedtest.nl, commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, to offer employers rapid tests in order to test employees with symptoms. We are proud that in this way we can contribute to the (re)opening of the Dutch society in the best possible way."
