TYPES OF TESTS AND STANDARDS:

All nations of the UK need the tests to be of this standard:

The test you take must meet standards of ≥97% specificity and ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml.

Suitable tests include:

  • a nucleic acid test, including a PCR test or derivative technologies, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) tests
  • an antigen test, such as a rapid lateral flow test, though many lateral flow devices may not meet the standards needed – you must check the test you buy meets standards of ≥97% specificity and ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml

ALL THE COVID 19 TESTS offered at the Nerja Medical Center meet these standards and you will be issued with a fit to fly certificate.
