There are many restrictions in place when it comes to foreign travel these days. The chief among them is producing evidence of not having a COVID-19 infection. Almost all popular travel destinations require visitors to have a negative result from a recent PCR test before allowing them entry.

Furthermore, the UK government does not allow anyone to use the free COVID-19 tests from the NHS for travel purposes.

VIVO Clinic’s PCR tests are offered especially for foreign travel. With our PCR tests in Cambridge, you can not only receive your results the very same day but also a fit-to-fly certificate free of any additional fees.

What is a PCR test?

A PCR or polymerase chain reaction test uses a subject’s swab samples collected from the nose or the throat to determine the presence of COVID-19 RNA.

How reliable are PCR tests?

Several tests have been used to detect the virus through the pandemic, with some providing better results than others. The PCR test, one of the first such tests used, remains the one to give consistently correct results.

Why do I need a PCR test to travel?

With the pandemic ongoing, the virus has mutated in geo-specific locations, and the newly emerged variants are now spreading.

Firstly, governments are trying to curb the spread of COVID-19 while countries are in varying stages with vaccine distribution. Second, the prevention of cross-border contamination by the new variants is now a global priority.

PCR tests from travellers are a part of the preventive measures put into place by countries with open or partially open borders.

When should I book the in-clinic PCR test?

While there is no definite rule for this, most countries require visitors to take PCR tests 72 hours before departure. However, not every country will follow this window of time, and those that do may update it at any moment.

It is, therefore, advised that you check with the government’s website before you book your test.

Will you provide me with a fit-to-fly certificate?

We sure will. If your PCR test comes back negative for COVID-19, we will provide you with a fit-to-fly certificate free of charge.

Is your laboratory regulated?

Care Quality Commission regulates VIVO Clinic’s laboratory. Our certificate number is CRT1-4708702735.

How are VIVO Clinic’s PCR tests in Cambridge done?

Our PCR tests for travel follow the basic steps. Samples from your nose and throat will be collected at our Cambridge clinic. The samples will then be tested in our lab. And your results will be sent your way as soon as they are ready. Our clinical experts will assist you through the sample collection process.

You can refer to the video below for how a standard PCR test is done.

Can I find out about a previous infection with a PCR test?

No. Only current infections can be detected by PCR tests.

You can order VIVO Clinic’s at-home immune response test to check for a previous COVID-19 infection.

What if my PCR test result comes back positive for COVID-19?

You must begin self-isolating immediately, continue to do so for at least ten days. You must reschedule your travels for later.

I’ve just had RF, Hifu treatment, and fat freezing at the Leeds Vivo.
Mobina carried out this treatment and she is v knowledgable, professional and attentive throughout. I’ve got my next appointment booked & can’t wait to see the results after that session.
I would highly recommend this treatment and Mobina.

Had Hifu and lemon bottle injections for double chin . Went well and looking forward for the results in the coming weeks. The specialist therapist is very accommodating, explaining carefully to me every steps she is performing and this makes me feel at ease and comfortable. The procedure itself is somewhat uncomfortable as it is painful but it is tolerable. Booked my next session.
