What is a Covid PCR Test?
Many airlines and countries now require proof of a negative Covid test 48-72 hours before travel. PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction; this test detects the active presence of Covid-19 antigens.
It is unable to detect antibodies, or the immune response of the body.
Explicitly, PCR testing determines whether or not someone has the virus very early on. It does this through its detection of viral RNA (ribonucleic acid). Ribonucleic acid is discovered in the body before symptoms start to appear, or before antibodies form.
Therefore, a PCR test offers an accurate indication of who is, and is not, infected, offering countries and airlines more control over the spread of Covid.
Why do I need the test?
Covid PCR/ Fit to Fly tests are designed for people of all ages that need to travel abroad for varying reasons. They are essential for those travelling to destinations that require proof of a negative test result before travel.
An up-to-date list of the countries that require this documentation, as well as guidance on travel restrictions, can be found on the Foreign Office Website.
Please note: This test is not suitable for those who are currently experiencing Covid symptoms, or who have had symptoms up to 28 days prior. If either of these categories describe you, you should instead follow Government advice regarding self-isolation and testing.
