As we continue to navigate life during the Covid-19 pandemic, most countries have implemented travel restrictions to ensure the safety of their citizens and to stop the spread of the virus.
There are strict guidelines for essential travellers which vary from quarantine once you reach a destination, or negative test results upon entry. Several countries require a PCR test conducted in the days prior (timeframes vary depending on the country) to confirm they do not have Covid-19 at the time of travel.
Pyser Testing uses the Coronavirus PCR Swab Testing Kit which detects current coronavirus infection. A negative result could allow passengers to travel to certain countries as well as provide exemption to travellers from quarantine too.
Our tests are over 99% accurate in detecting the RNA from coronavirus and are conducted by a CQC certified company and laboratory, adhering to under Public Health England guidelines.

What's a Covid-19 antigen test?
The Coronavirus antigen test is designed show whether you’ve currently got Covid-19, even if you haven’t got any symptoms.

disrupting your first night’s stay, or before departure, at a clinic, health centre or at the airport.
