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
