What is a PCR Test?

PCR stands for Polymerise Chain Reaction. This test is designed and used to directly detect the presence of the genetic materiel/antigens of the COVID-19 virus rather than the presence of the body’s immune response, or antibodies. This is only possible if the virus is present and someone is actively infected. The tests can tell whether or not someone has the virus very early on by detecting viral RNA (ribonucleic acid), which will be present in the body before antibodies form or symptoms of the disease are present. At the moment the majority of the current Covid-19 tests that all the reports are coming from are using the PCR test. PCR tests give us a good indication of who is infected and who is not.

What is a Fit to Fly certificate?

 

A fit to travel certificate, is a medical certificate written by a doctor that confirms your fitness to fly. Please note that in order to get a Fit to Fly letter you will need  to test negative for Covid-19. That being said if you do test negative for Covid-19, you will be provided with a certified Covid-19 Fit to Fly medical certificate signed by an NHS trained UK General Medical Council (GMC) doctor.

Which package is right for you?

 

There are different packages on offer and different options to suit your fit to fly needs. Whether your airline requires a small time window or you only need a test without a doctor certificate, Cadham have the package for you.

Things to consider when choosing your package:

• The time window required by your airline and destination
• The day of the week your flight is departing
• Whether or not a fit to fly certificate is required in addition to your Covid-19 PCR test

 

Time windows

 

Time windows are normally given by your airline or the country you are flying to. For example, a 96 hour time window means that your swab needs to be taken within 96 hours of your flight.

Time windows (especially 48 and 72 hours) can be tight so it is important that you follow the instructions and select the correct package.

 

How long does a Fit to Fly certificate last?

 

Your Fit to Fly certificate shows you are fit and able to fly around the time of your flight. this certificate may not be accepted if it was given to you a few weeks or months before you are set to travel. With the outbreak of COVID-19 some airlines and countries may specify how recent your fit to fly certificate must be. Please note: you may need a new health certificate each time you fly.

 

Fit to Fly certificate for pregnancy

 

If you are planning to fly when pregnant, airlines may not allow you to fly if you are 36 weeks pregnant or if you are carrying twins and are in your 32nd week of pregnancy even with a fit to fly certificate. This is because there is a risk of going into early labour or having a blood clot. Make sure to check the policy of the airline you’re flying with.
