COVID-19 PCR Fit to Fly Testing
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests are used to diagnose people with an active infection (anyone infected with COVID-19). Covid-19 PCR Fit to Fly test in London is now available at Macks Pharmacy.
Detecting antibodies produced by the body’s immune system is the goal of antibody tests. This is an indication of a previous infection or an effect of the virus. In contrast, PCR tests analyse the DNA of the virus, especially its RNA fragments. As a result, they are used to detect an existing infection.
The Process involved in a PCR Fit to Fly test in London
