To take PCR tests in York for travel, you need only to visit VIVO Clinic. The service includes fit-to-fly certificates and next-day results.
The COVID-19 pandemic perseveres, but the introduction of the vaccines has presented a little leeway for the resumption of a few things in a pre-covid, normal way. Foreign travel, though permitted, is not one of those.
Overseas travel comes with much baggage (excuse the pun) nowadays. Countries do not allow visitors to just step through their respective borders. Foreign visitors everywhere are subject to COVID-19 tests and other possible restrictions.
The PCR test is the preferred method worldwide. Yet, when you are travelling from the UK, you will not be allowed to use the free NHS tests. The government has prohibited it. Instead, you must take PCR tests from private suppliers approved by the government.
This is where VIVO Clinic comes in. Our testing services were designed for foreign travel in mind. We provide results the next day and fit-to-fly certificates with every negative result.
What are PCR tests, and why are they the preferred choice globally?
PCR tests are one of the most effective COVID-19 detection methods available commercially. It has the highest sensitivity when it comes to detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.
The test involves checking for the virus’ RNA in a person’s samples.
It is widely believed by experts that the PCR test is the ‘gold standard’ when it comes to finding a current COVID-19 infection in a person. Thus, the practice of using it to vet travellers has become the norm everywhere.
When must one take a PCR test before travelling?
The exact time during which you must take your PCR test depends on the country you intend to visit.
Most countries require visitors to produce at the border a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure. However, many others only accept tests taken within 48 hours of arrival.
Thus, it is best to be thoroughly informed about your destination country’s entry requirements before booking the pre-travel PCR tests.
The government’s website is a comprehensive source for checking the travel requirements of each country.
How are PCR tests performed?
Our PCR tests in York take the standard route:
- Swab samples from the throat and nose are collected at our clinic,
- The swab samples are then tested at our lab, and results are processed in time to be ready for delivery the very next day.

Which countries require PCR tests from travellers?
Almost every country requires travellers to submit some form of proof that they are not currently infected. While many countries consider passengers’ vaccination statuses, most countries tend to rely on timely PCR tests.
