FYI Covid Test

I am traveling to Rome next week on a COVID 19 Flight on United Airlines. Does anybody know where in the Chicago area I can get one of the approved tests with under 48 hours turnaround time? The United app says it has to be a Molecular PCR or Antigen/AG test. The TrustAssure website from United is not very helpful and we have been struggling to find a place to schedule an appointment for the correct test. Thank you!

Planning to visit Tuscany next week and will need to undertake a Covid PCR test before returning to UK. A few questions about the tests:

where can I get a test in Tuscany and how do I organise it ?

are the results available in English or French ?

what is the time from test to results ?

Many Thanks,

Roger

We will be in Milan Sept 6 and need to get a covid test. Does anyone know how long the turn around times are for the Covid Test that you get in the train stations? I would like the test results to be back in a few hours if possoble.

Thank you.

We have an 8 am flight FCO to LHR booked.LHR requires a covid test 1-3 days before arrival. Will we have time after checkin to get the termal 3 20 rapid Covid test? Getting the test right at FCO would be easist for us. Looks like they test between 0000 and 1400.

We used Synlab for our PCR Covid-19 test in Italy. Can highly recommend Synlab.

We had our test done at 10am in the morning, and received our test results at 7pm the same day. We booked our test appointments 2 days ahead at a location near a larger city. Each test cost us 60 EUR, which was 50 EUR for the test plus 10 EUR for an English translation of the test results. We used the website locate.synlab.it to identify Synlab's lab locations.

The most cumbersome part was booking the appointments. To book the appointments, we used Synlab's iOS app. It worked, but it took a couple of tries till we got the accounts set up correctly, so we could book the appointments. At the test site, we received instructions on how to access our test results from a dedicated website. We downloaded the results as PDF documents from that dedicated site, and saved the PDFs on our phones.

Synlab's iOS app showed all open test spots. The website showed many of the locations to be fully booked, which they were not. The lab experience and speed was excellent. The iOS app and website experience was ok, once one knows how to navigate it.

This was August 2021. Hope this helps someone.

Hi! Anyone knows if it is possible/where to get a PCR test done in Bari? We are traveling from Italy to Greece and Greece require proof of negative Covid for Swedes. Thanks!

Hello currently in Viareggio and need to book a Covid test to fly back to the UK, it can be a rapid antigen test as long as the certificate is in English and it meets certain specificity criteria’s which most of these tests do. Can anyone advise a place to get the test booked please? Thank you

Hi, we are traveling to Italy, Pisa on September 20 and we have one stop for about two hours in London( British Airways). It’s me and my husband fully vaccinated and our 5 year old. Does anyone know if we would have to do Covid-19 test for going to Italy. Also we were thinking to rent a car. Please advise on rental. Any other tips and advice would greatly appreciate. Thank you

Approved COVID-19 tests include a nucleic acid amplification test (e.g. PCR test) or a viral antigen test that is approved by the local health authority--- so in italy this chain offers

BIANALISI

PCR, Antigen & Antibody tests PCR-PCR

Nasal/Throat Swab

24 Hours

EUR

€70

Antigen

Saliva Swab

20 Minutes

EUR

€28'

SO is the 28 euro test acceptable for flight(antigen saliva swab)

Can I get a Covid test valid for flying back to the USA in late September?
