PCR Test with fit to fly certificate - Surrey
RT-PCR – FIT TO FLY TEST WITH CERTIFICATE
A Fit to Fly certificate may be required when leaving or returning to the UK
Our Covid-19 PCR test is UK government approved for “Fit to Travel” and “Test to Release”. It can tell if you are currently infected with coronavirus. By using PCR technology, it detects SARS-COV-2 (Covid-19) precisely.
How do you get your test result and Certificate?
The test is carried out by our trained staff at our clinic.
We then take your test directly to our local Government approved testing Lab. Once the sample is received at the Lab and analysed, your results and PCR certificate will be emailed to you directly.
Please see our FAQ’s for more information.
Please determine when you need your test done. Work out the time as the test centre will issue
the test result time based on when you did the test.
Please make sure you don’t eat, drink, chew gum, smoke or brush your teeth at least 20 minutes
before you take the mouth and nasal swab test. Doing this can contaminate your sample, which
may result in it needing a retest and therefore, delaying your result.
Disclaimer: If test results are delayed due to any issue at the Lab or results are inconclusive, as we are independent of Lab, we cannot be liable for any late or inconclusive results.
Recommended – We recommend having adequate travel insurance in case of an ‘inconclusive’ result (frequency approx 1 in 500)
