3What is a PCR Test?
A PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test is a
diagnostic tool used to detect the genetic
material of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, the
virus responsible for COVID-19. Known for its
high sensitivity and accuracy, the PCR test is
the gold standard for detecting COVID-19. Unlike
antigen tests that detect viral proteins, PCR
tests identify the virus's RNA, making them more
accurate, though they may take slightly longer to
process.
4Why Do You Need a PCR Test for Travel?
