Service Providers for SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19)(Traveler)
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) test for travelers typically detects the virus using PCR or antigen tests. The purpose is to confirm if a traveler is infected before departure or entry. The test involves a nasal or throat swab, and preparation may include avoiding food or drink for a short time beforehand. Risks are minimal but may include discomfort from the swab. Results, usually available in hours to days, indicate if you're positive or negative. Factors like timing (early vs. late infection) or improper sample collection can affect accuracy. Ensure you follow specific travel requirements for test types and timing.
