RT-PCR Test Hull

A PCR test looks for RNA related to a current Covid-19 infection. The laboratory analyses a swab sample which is taken from your throat and nose.

To facilitate international travel, most countries now require that a test is taken before you fly. Importantly, you must be able to show evidence that that the test was negative in the form of a results sheet or fit-to-fly certificate.

We deliver your results the day after your swab sample is taken in-clinic. You should book a test within the testing window set by the destination country. The window is often 72 hours, but this does vary and can change, so you need to confirm with your travel operator before booking.

We send a fully travel recognised results sheet the day after your test. An example can be seen below. The test must be negative for you to fly.

Our home kits are only recommended if you do not need to get your results within a strict window.

The test has 100% sensitivity

No. A PCR test looks for a current infection.

If you receive a positive result you will need to self-isolate. Please check the government website for the latest advice.

The countries to which you can currently travel and their respective regulations are continuously evolving. We recommend that you visit the Government webpage which is kept up to date with the latest information and developments.

We’ve also got our own Covid travel  portal
