Yes you can, should you wish to cancel or rebook to another day, we would appreciate an email be sent to bookings@covidtestnam.com just for us to be aware.

Question 4

Why is there no time slots for pre booking?

Accepted Answer

We only require your requested date of test, the aim is to have your forms pre filled in for smooth passage into the testing set up. Driving in Namibia can come with its own planned changes, our lovely Namibian scenery invites you to take photos along the way to your final destination and we do not expect you to have to worry to make the time of your appointment for a covid test.

Do you work past your operating hours? What happens if my delay has made me miss the 08:00 - 17:00 operating hours of the checkpoints?

Accepted Answer

If you do pre-booking, our supervisors will make sure to contact your number as the day comes to a close to see if all is on track for the covid test. However, if you feel you will be late, we welcome you to email us at bookings@covidtestnam.com or contact our center at +264 81 788 3383 to inform us. We can make special arrangements to have one of our nurses meet you at your lodging accommodation upon arrival.

What happens if I do not receive my test past the stipulated time advertised per test?
