A note on testing for travel:

This testing site is not intended to screen travelers.  If you need a test to travel, it’s not guaranteed that you will receive a result within 72 hours of departure or that the format of the results provided will meet the specific requirments for your trip.  The results from this testing site include  whether COVID-19 was "Detected" or "Not Detected," along with the person's name, DOB, test type, and date tested.

For travel COVID testing, you may need to use a private company specializing in travel, or at a provider's office. Discovery Health might be a good option, as they are familiar with requirements for different countries and help provide the necessary paperwork for each destination
