A PCR Test Being Done in a Laboratory

What are PCR tests?

PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests are the most reliable way of finding out whether a person is infected with COVID-19. This laboratory test involves looking for the virus RNA in a subject’s nose and throat samples.

Why do I need a PCR test to travel?

As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, almost all the countries now require foreign visitors to prove that they are not infected before letting them in. Due to the PCR tests’ high reliability, visitors must show a negative result at the border from a test taken within a certain timeframe.

When should I book the in-clinic PCR test?

It is crucial to be sure of the entry requirements of where you are going before you book your test. The government’s website has all the latest information in this regard.

Some countries prefer that the PCR test be taken within 72 hours of departure, while other countries may not even have a time window as long as the tests are valid. Even if your destination country has stated a timeframe in which to take the test, it is not an absolute and is subject to change with newer data emerging. Therefore, it is best to be certain about these matters before booking your test.

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

Supplying fit-to-fly certificates is a major component of the service we provide. However, we can only do so if the result is negative for COVID-19. Our certificates are verified by trained laboratory personnel and contain a comprehensive analysis of the PCR testing.

Is your laboratory regulated?

Our laboratory is registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. The certificate number of our laboratory is CRT1-4708702735.

How are VIVO Clinic’s PCR tests in Watford carried out?

PCR testing involves two major steps:

  • Swab samples are extracted from the back of the subject’s throat and inside the nose.
  • The samples then undergo testing at our laboratory to detect COVID-19 RNA presence.

The video below shows how swab samples are collected.

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

To find out if you have had a previous infection, you can try out our immune response test. This is because PCR tests can only detect current COVID-19 infections.

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

A positive PCR test legally requires that you enter quarantine right away. You will be banned from travelling internationally and locally until you have recovered from the infection. You may only resume your travel plans once you have recovered and can evidence it via a negative PCR test result.

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.
