COVID-19 PCR Testing

At The Travel Health Clinic, we are continuously looking for ways to offer more services to you. In the current climate, it is imperative that you stay safe against COVID-19 and that’s why we now offer PCR testing.

 

COVID PCR Testing

PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction. This is a test designed and used to directly detect the presence of the genetic material/antigens of the COVID-19 virus rather than the presence of the body’s immune response, or antibodies. This is only possible if the virus is present and someone is actively infected. The tests can tell whether or not someone has the virus very early on by detecting viral RNA (ribonucleic acid), which will be present in the body before antibodies form or symptoms of the disease are present. PCR tests give us a good indication of who is infected and who is not, therefore giving airlines and countries some control over the spread of the virus.
