If you are planning to travel abroad on a holiday or summer, you need to work on getting on fit to fly COVID test done. For many destinations across the world, you will need a negative COVID-19 test to enter. Below are some of the important things you need to know before getting this test done.
First of all, you need to know where to find information about travel restrictions and COVID-19. In the first instance, you should speak to your airline about your travel dates, travel times as well as COVID test timeframes. There are some airlines that would want a test carried out no sooner than 72 hours before the flight while others will require the test done no more than 96 hours, and some just 48hrs. It is also important to check the arrival details of the country that you are visiting. This can be done easily by looking at the foreign and commonwealth office website which has regularly updated information.
You also need to know why exactly you need a COVID fit to fly certificate. This certificate is proof that on the day of the test you were negative for the presence of the coronavirus disease. It is likely that if you were negative just seventy two hours before then it is presumed that you will be safe to fly and will not be carrying COVID-19 onboard the plane. But the test is just a snapshot of a moment in time, and it is imperative that you follow all suitable precautions when travelling, such as wearing a face mask for the duration of your flight and regularly washing your hands.
