What Is a PCR Test?
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction. It is a swab test that checks for COVID-19.
We take a quick swab from your nose and throat. That sample goes straight to a UKAS-accredited lab. You get your result by email, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
It is one of the most reliable COVID tests out there. Airlines, employers, and governments worldwide accept it.
Symptoms of COVID-19
Not sure if you need a test? These are the signs to look out for:
- A temperature that will not settle
- A cough that keeps coming back
- Losing your sense of smell or taste
- Feeling breathless or tight in the chest
- Wiped out and exhausted for no clear reason
- A sore throat, runny nose, or bad headache
- Aching muscles or joints
Some people come to us with no symptoms at all. Travel, work, or just wanting to be sure. Whatever your reason, we are here.
