COVID19 Pre-Flight Screening at BIMC Hospital Nusa Dua

Most flights requires result of COVID-19 testings, namely a swab test or the so-called PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and rapid test (Serologic Testing)

Major differences between the rapid test and swab tests are: • Rapid tests use blood samples while a Swab test uses mucus samples. • Swab tests are used to detect the existence of the antigen while rapid tests detect the presence of the antibody. • You can get your rapid test result within max 2 hours, but for that of PCR, you have to wait up to 5 days. • Rapid tests are used to screen potential positive cases thru antibody while the swab tests are used as a diagnostic standard for detecting Coronavirus. • Swab tests give a more accurate result than rapid tests.
