What our EPIC clients have to say

Compliments to your staff and centre. I was so impressed by how the entire process was handled. So polite and comforting and professional.

Dee Munks, Durban Epic Testing Centre Client

Very impressed with your service. Your Staff were professional and well mannered. Will definitely recommend you!

Cheryl Clegg, Cape Town Epic Testing Centre Client

Baie danke dat julle epicentre gekry het om my COVID-19 toets tuis to kom doen. Die hele proses was glad nie onaangenaam nie, Josh was baie vriendelike en die toets was vinnig en glad nie traumaties soos wat die staat en social media jou wil laat dink nie. Weereens dankie, ek sal jul op hoogte hou oor die resultaat proses.

Jaco, PI; Cape Town Epic Testing Centre Client
What a fast and friendly service!
Nadia, Maritime Solutions

My client would like to thank the entire Cape Town Epicentre team, for the excellent manner in which their employees have been made aware of their status.

Jan, Optimal Solve; Cape Town Epic Testing Centre Client

I am so grateful for all that Johann has done for us as a family and still doing. I am eternally grateful, and I stand in awe of his kindness. It brings tears to my eyes to think that someone can be so kind to total strangers. May the Lord bless you and keep you and take you from strength to strength. I took my uncle from a drug house about two months ago. He was slowly disappearing because of malnutrition. He doesn’t have any children or a wife. We all he has, and now you are willing to go the extra mile for him. My words are not enough to thank you. 🙏🏼 Bless you sir

Why do we offer free and discounted tests?

Epicentre has partnered with key research organizations to test the effectiveness of new COVID-19 tests like the PAN BIO COVID-19 Antigen Test in our CATSS study, which has recently finished its first phase. We are also helping research organizations to test if self-testing works in South Africa. So, to encourage people to take part in these studies, these research organizations subsidize these tests which allows us to offer them for free or at heavily discounted prices.

Why can’t people use these subsidized tests for travelling?

A key aspect of these studies is picking up positive results because they want to see if their new test is sensitive enough to detect the virus. So they give us rules for who can test, which focuses the testing on people who could be positive. For example, to take part in our CATSS study, which would normally be R1240, you would need to be a doctor, be referred by a doctor for a COVID-19 test, have symptoms or been exposed to someone with COVID-19.

So, someone whose travelling wouldn’t fit these requirements, so according to these research organizations, they wouldn’t be eligible for subsidized testing.
