By decision of the Bavarian state government, the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine of the LMU University Hospital runs a Walk-through Test Station at Georgenstraße (Leopoldstraße 5) in Munich. The test station is organized by an experienced team of doctors from the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine. Together with the City of Munich, the Tropical Institute is thus setting up test capacities for medical personnel and specific staff like employees in nursing homes. At the Georgenstraße site, testing is only possible for this defined group of people and by appointment only.
Opening times of the Walk-through Test Station:
8:30 – 12:00 (by appointment only).
