COVID PCR AND RAPID ANTIGEN TESTS FOR TRAVEL
NOTICE - We are closed January 10-30
Please do not leave email or phone messages unless it is an emergency. We are not doing any testing during this period. We will try to reply to very urgent messages only.
For travellers whose PCR tests were done December 29 and 30
Due to an equipment failure at the laboratory, results of swabs taken December 29 and 30 were delayed for a number of travellers. There will be refunds for those eligible. Our staff will be emailing and calling affected travellers.
Future bookings
Our clinic is closed from January 10, reopening January 31. This decision was taken taken due to difficulty in obtaining a secure supply of tests, risk of insufficient staffing due to COVID, uncertain turnaround times for PCR tests during this time of overburdened laboratories and our desire for a break after more than a year of COVID testing. We will make February appointments available as soon as we are assured of adequate resources. Travellers who have seen us through to January 9 will of course receive their reports as usual.
