Get Yourself Checked for Covid-19

COVID-19 PCR Test for Travel

As many countries are requesting that international travellers complete a COVID-19 PCR and/or Antibody Test before boarding their flight. So, Dr. Mittal Path Lab COVID-19 PCR Test for Travel provides travellers with a printed copy of their test result, allowing them to meet travel requirements prior to boarding.

At Dr. Mittal Path Lab, we use the reverse transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, which is a type of nucleic acid testing, for our COVID-19 PCR test. PCR testing is considered the gold standard for detecting the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus for diagnosis of COVID-19.

Testing of asymptomatic travellers for COVID-19 is conducted by us, where strict health and safety protocols are followed.

Important: You need to check with your airline or the local embassy of the country you are travelling to, as to how many days before travel COVID-19 testing must be completed.
