International travel is limited for South Africans, but several countries are still welcoming us with open arms. Most countries do, however, require a COVID-19 negative PCR test result before travelling.
Here’s where to get your test done, quick and easy.
A good first step is to download the Health Passport Worldwide app, so all your administration is kept in one place. ‘Your vaccination or test can only be updated by a medical professional. Upon your consent, the healthcare facility will update your Health Passport Worldwide account for you,’ the website states.
‘You will have immediate access to your personal COVID-19 status, which can choose to display or scan whenever appropriate. The system is built specifically to be compatible with all types of official COVID-19 vaccinations and tests. This includes PCR tests, blood tests and rapid diagnostic tests.’
Next, here are some of the different centres across the country where you can get these tests done safely and quickly.
