Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests are molecular tests used as a diagnostic test to show if a person has an active coronavirus infection and should take steps to quarantine or isolate themselves from others. This test is administered as an anterior nasal swab OR a nasopharyngeal swab. You can learn more about PCR Testing by clicking here.
We strongly suggest contacting the authorities requesting the test (your airline, resort, hotel, or government bodies at your travel destination amongst others) to determine which test you need.
COVID-19 Rapid Testing is now available. Antigen COVID-19 tests detect proteins from the virus. Antigen tests are very specific for the virus, but are not as sensitive as molecular tests. This means that a positive result is highly accurate, but a negative result does not rule out infection. This test is administered as a nasal swab. We are using the BD Veritor system antigen testing. You can learn more about this test by clicking here.
