Sample collection for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) testing

Sample collection guidelines are continually changing. Please contact your local laboratory and ask for Dr Bruce van den Heever or Jane Kerridge for more information.

If tests are required for travel this must be clearly written on the form, with the date and time of the international flight
Make sure the sample is at the lab 24 hours before the result is required NOT 24 hours before the flight. 

Any tests for travel over the Christmas and New Year periods (December 25-28, and January 1-4) must be pre-arranged with the lab before 12 noon on December 24th or 31st respectively
