Most countries are taking measures to slow the spread of Covid-19. Evidence of a negative PCR test is now mandatory for many popular destinations. These tests must be obtained from a private provider.

Firstly, please ensure you are aware of the testing window required by your chosen destination. The window is most commonly 72 hours however this does vary for several countries and is subject to change for any destination. Therefore, it’s imperative that you confirm this window before booking a test.

You can check availability at the Peterborough clinic using the button at the top of the page. When you view the booking calendar, each slot will clearly state the window in which you will receive your test results. Use these two pieces of information to book an appropriate time and date.

If your results are negative, the results sheet you will receive via email will be recognised by all airlines. You can see what the results sheet looks like below.

If you receive a positive result, this means that you are currently infected with COVID-19, and you could pose a risk to others around you. Therefore, you should self-isolate immediately, and inform those you have been in contact within the last 7 days in case this result affects them.
