When should I get my test?
The test needs to be taken as close as possible to your date of travel — check the timing that applies to your country. However, the COVID-19 supervised Rapid Antigen Test is usually required to be taken within 24 hours prior to the international travel departure time.
The pharmacy staff must verify your identity by requesting your passport or driver’s license.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms - Do not come into the pharmacy for a Rapid Antigen Test.
How long will it take to get my results?
