Other Frequently Asked Questions
What is a COVID-19 PCR Test?
A COVID-19 PCR Test (polymerase chain reaction) is used to check if you have COVID-19, even if you don’t have symptoms. This is the same test carried out by the NHS and COVID-19 testing centres.
A COVID PCR Test is done by inserting a swab into the nose and the back of the throat to collect respiratory materials. The swab will then be sent to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis.
Why do I need a Fit to Fly Certificate?
