Travel Smart. Travel Safe.
Travel has been an industry and a favourite pastime that has suffered greatly during the pandemic.
As regulations change, and the industry begins to open up, you may be required to provide proof of a negative COVID test result in order to travel. If you do not have any symptoms of COVID-19 infection, have not traveled in the last 14 days, and have not been in close contact with a positive case, you can get tested for COVID-19 in order to travel.
Trust COVID Travel Test to provide you with an easy testing experience with results quickly and reliably.
