• Which test is acceptable (PCR or Antigen)


• The number of hours which CANNOT be exceeded for the result to be accepted (eg 48, 72, 96 or 7 days)


• If the above time limit is from UK departure or destination arrival


• The age limits for testing (some countries require EVERYONE to be tested, others have specific ages for children)

ELEMENTS MEDICAL CANNOT ACCEPT LIABILITY FOR ANY ERRORS IN BOOKING THE WRONG TEST, OR AT THE WRONG TIME

How it works

• The test can be performed on anyone over the age of 12 months – however, whether your child actually requires the test is something you will need to clarify with your airline or the embassy for your travel destination


• The sample is collected on a swab which is inserted first into the back of the throat, and then into one nostril


• The swab is then sent to the laboratory


• Results are usually received the next day (see below)


• NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY
