Do not mistake an antigen test for a PCR test. Some countries require a PCR test for entry, which is a more thorough and time consuming lab analysis. Antigen tests are often accepted as a complement, especially within the EU but make sure to check what is required by your destination.
The Lateral flow antigen test is a good option when you need a quick and cheap test result for ongoing infection.
It is also important for you to check further test requirements for entry, such as the time frame in which the test must be taken.
Up-to-date information on which test is required by your country of destination can be found Swedish ministry of Foreign Affairs’ app Resklar: App Store | Google Play
Or on the Swedish embassys’ webpage, Sweden Abroad.
If you are still uncertain, please contact your airline or the country of destinations own embassy.
If the test result comes back Positive?
One of our doctors will contact you for infection tracking and provide instructions on how to go forward. We recommend that you follow the recommendations of the Swedish public health authority on how to act when tested Positive.
