Rapid antigen test
The United States and many other countries require a rapid antigen test for entry. We will make up the certificate with your name, date of birth and address, the date and time of the test, the type of test and its specifics (sensitivity and specificity, which meet the requirements for these countries). The certificate is printed, signed and stamped. It has no QR code.
N.B. some countries require a PCR test rather than an antigen. Dr. Giontella's surgery does not do PCR tests.
