Coronavirus (COVID-19) fit for travel certificates

By Dr Sameer Sanghvi

COVID-19 travel regulations

We're all aware the COVID-19 pandemic is constantly changing at home and around the world. If you're
planning to travel abroad, you'll be keen to keep up to date with the latest travel information on the
government website. on the government website. This will help you keep up to date on the COVID-19
restrictions in the area you want to visit and any restrictions in the UK when you return. See the
government's foreign travel advice for further information.

What is a COVID-19 travel certificate?

At the moment, some countries ask for proof of a recent COVID-19 test, either when you arrive in the
country or before getting on a flight. You'll be asked to provide a certificate or document of your results. If
you don't provide proof of your test result it might mean you can't enter the country. A COVID-19 travel
certificate is this official document that details the results of a recent COVID-19 swab test, sometimes called
a COVID-19 PCR test.

These tests work by detecting if the virus is currently in your system (they are not able to tell you if you've been
infected in the past). The idea of these certificates is to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, making sure only
people who're unlikely to be carrying the virus can come into the country.

To find out which countries require proof of a COVID-19 test result on entry, visit the foreign travel advice
page.

Where can I get a fit for travel COVID-19 certificate?

COVID-19 testing for international travel is not currently available on the NHS. If you require proof of your
results you'll need to purchase a COVID-19 swab test privately, you can do so using our COVID-19 swab
testing service.

We'll provide you with a downloadable document with your results in, as soon as your results are ready
which is normally an estimated 3 working days after sample processing begins
