Evening flight out of JFK so definitely have time to get to Monsey and back. I don't suppose anyone has experience showing these test results when entering Ukraine in recent days?

Please keep us updated with your experience I'm planing a trip to Ukraine in the next few weeks

I'm flying out to Odessa on the 26th. I'd appreciate the same update if you end up leaving earlier. I tried to force a connection in Istanbul to get tested there but learned that their testing facilities are all landside and require an evisa. So it seems like my options are Ezra/Reufah or an airport test upon arrival and 24 hours of quarantine.

Bit of a drive from Brooklyn but definitely not a deal breaker! Thanks!

Try Dr Rosens office in CH 718-778-4800

Last week they said minimum 5 days. Still worth a call though, maybe it changed back.

Is there anywhere in Ohio to get testing for asymptomatic minors?

CVS and RiteAid will not test minors.
LabCorps will not send their home test kit for minors.

Further updates from Alaska: only 3 day tests are now acceptable. No more 5 days and testing upon arrival.

In practice, it's all one big joke. Had a 5 day a few weeks ago and they didn't make me retest, and they didn't even look at my test last week. Just asked if I was negative and that was that.

Apologies for reviving an older thread. Has anyone recently obtained a rapid molecular test in the NYC area?

The country I hope to visit at the end of the month requires a negative test result within 48 hours of arrival so it seems like Abbott ID Now is my only option but am having trouble finding an option that isn't Ezra (would prefer a backup if they are unable to get me in on the day of travel.)

Looking for the same thing. Did you manage to find another place?
How fast does Ezra give results?

In a similar situation and could use guidance - I am traveling to the Maldives in a few weeks and they required a negative PCR test within 96 hours from departure from the US. Is the Abbott ID Now a PCR test (are all molecular tests PCR)? Does anyone have experience with other places that can guarentee PCR test results within 96 hours (preferably in North Jersey or Rockland County)?

Thanks! Did the results they sent you state "PCR" explicity on them. I've heard the Maldives department of health is strick on making sure the results for states it explicitly.

If Brooklyn works for you, I took a PCR test on Monday (16th) and got my results today.
They originally promised to have the results by tomorrow AM latest, so that's a guarantee of less than 72 hours.

Tell them you want a PCR test and need results by X.
They have a dedicated covid testing area so it should take less than 5 min in and out- don't get spooked if the waiting room is full because these people are in line for the doc.

Israel COVID-19 testing to fly to US prices are crazy.

If I can get someone to bring to it to me from the US
Will this self testing kit really work and allow me to come to US without testing locally here?

No airline booked yet, but what airlines will it work on?

(Seeing United, yes. Delta, maybe.)
Wonder if good enough for America, Elal, Turkish.
(Random list but these are the other possibilities, right now)

Dan · « **Reply #38 on:** June 28, 2021, 10:10:24 AM »

Theoretically it should be good for any airline. UA and AA are official partners so that would be less of a concern.

You still need a PCR or recovery certificate to enter the airport AFAIK.
