What is meant by a PCR test?
PCR is an abbreviation for Polymerase Chain Reaction and refers to an analysis method for, among other things, identifying genetic material from the coronavirus (RNA). The test is used to demonstrate that you do not have an ongoing covid infection or that you have been exposed to the virus in the near future. PCR tests are considered to have high reliability because they can identify small volumes of nucleic acids from SARS-CoV-2, both early and after the course of infection.
When will I receive my certificate after the test?
We offer PCR tests with test results within 2 hours and answers the same day before midnight. When booking a PCR test 6 hours we guarantee test results within 6 hours from the time the sample is taken at our clinic.
What happens if I get a positive test result for covid-19?
If the test result shows the presence of nucleic acid (RNA) from covid-19, you will receive a certificate certifying a positive answer. Provided you also experience symptoms or that you have recently been ill, you should stay at home until you have been fever-free for two days and feel generally better.
