That is completely fine – as long as you have bought your test online and have your QR code you don’t need to have a booking. You can come to the centre on your 8th day and get tested.

The test is very quick, if you have already booked your appointment and entered your information, you should be in and out in about 5 minutes only.

If you did not receive your confirmation email, please start by checking your junk email. If the email is still not in there, there might have been a problem when you booked – contact us and we will send you the email once again. It might also mean that the payment didn’t go through, so you are welcome to try again.

You can change your booking via the link included in your confirmation email.

Absolutely. All you have to do is pick the test you want, and follow the steps to buy and book. You also have the option to register without booking a slot. However it is important that you register before coming to the clinic.
