Most places will do the certificate in English, as it will be a requirement for many destinations, ask before taking the test.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong
I want the antigen fast test
Like drive-in place, but I answered the questions
And says I cant get a free PCR test because I answered no to everything
(no symptoms)
I am willing to pay!
Can I just walk in somewhere in Bern?

Call your Doctor or local pharmacy and ask if they can do a rapid test with travel certificate.

I found a practice that said yes
But only in German
Didnt want to go to basel super early, like 6 hours before scheduled flight, because the test times are up until approx midday
Hmmmmm or day before perhaps
Thinking....

The number of tests has increased substantially as people are allowed to travel more. | Quote: | |  | | | Does anyone have a list of places they have used in Bern for the PCR Test? | | | | | I used the Amavita in the train station for the PCR test and the results were provided in English within maybe 30 hours or so? But I had to specify English up front. FYI - The pharmacy doesn't "run" the tests themselves, it is sent to a lab.
I also used them for a rapid test, but I seem to recall they would only provide that certificate in German. It didn't matter to me since I was traveling with Lufthansa.
I used the CityNotfall by Welle7 for the rapid test last week, but the results were in German. I didn't ask if they could be provided in English but I guess you could ask? They had more appointments available than Amavita and I could book online.
