Do you know if these tests done with a pharmacy kit in front of camara are accepted?

They are accepted in Germany but I don't know in Switzerland. Do somebody know?
Thanks in advance
Hallo people
I found this: In the following situations, we advise you not to use a self-test and instead to get tested by a professional at your doctor’s, at a pharmacy, in a hospital or at a testing centre: You have coronavirus symptoms. You have had contact with someone who has tested positive. You are in quarantine. You wish to spend time around people at especially high risk. You need a negative test result to enter Switzerland. You can find more information on this topic on the page Entering Switzerland .
I would say go pay for someone else to give you the rapid test.
I made a PCR test at Apoteke 7 days AFTER I entered Switzeland and it was free with the health insurance card.
Only to be send to the canton, NOT for Certificat.
A nice lady from Apoteke told me if I would make anti-korper test, I could get the certificat. I had the virus at the end of October, while being abroad.
So if you had the virus, you could try but is to pay something, 80 Francs or so.
And what happens if there's no way to make a test in the airport you are flighing from?
I hope the test certificate is not mandatory to fly and can be done directly by arriving to CH.
You cannot board a plane (acc to the rules) without a test and will be denied boarding.
I think the only option that I have is using covidtestonline.com or similar.
The flight is very early, so I can do the test the day before at the hotel with the pharmacy kit.
Shit.
It’s going to be the airline that checks your documents. You should ask them. They really don’t want to deny you boarding, but they will if your docs don’t meet their interpretation of what’s necessary.
And don’t yell at the person who handles you, they cannot interpret the rules, they can only follow instructions.
There's a Swiss version - testasy.
They mail you the antigen test, you take it while on a zoom call and they send you a Swiss certificate with QR code. The certificate says nothing about it being a zoom-proctored test.
Works quite well. We used it to enter Italy, and then (from Italy) to re-enter Switzerland with an extra test kit we had ordered and brought with us.
That would have been the solution but they say in their website
Huh. That sucks... I guess we got the last ones, was really quite a good setup!
