COVID-19: PCR TESTNG & SAMPLE COLLECTION FOR DEPARTURE GUESTS.

1. DEFINITION OF PCR TEST: PCR = Polymerase Chain Reaction
2. Why is the test used? PCR tests look for pieces of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the nose, throat, or other areas in the respiratory tract to determine if the person has an active infection
3. How is the test performed? In most cases, a nasal or throat swab is taken by a healthcare provider and tested. Sometimes the test can be run while you wait, and sometimes the swab needs to be sent to a lab for testing.
4. What does a positive test result mean? A positive PCR test indicates that the person being tested has an active COVID-19 infection.
5. What does a negative test result mean? A negative PCR test means that person was probably not infected at the time their sample was collected. However, it doesn’t mean they won’t get sick – it only means that they didn’t have COVID-19 at the time of testing.
6. PCR COVID-19 Test is USD85/- per person (includes all taxes)
