China Duo Test | COVID-19 PCR Swab and IgM Antibody Test

Q: Do you have to carry out both tests?

Under the current regulations, the reports must come from the same provider. This means the provider must guarantee both test reports rather than you must have the test at the same place. Ie. if you have the PCR swab at Clinic A and antibody test at Clinic B. Clinic B would have to guarantee the test reports from both Clinic A and Clinic B in order to meet the entry requirements. You may find for ease of booking that having one provider do both tests is a smoother process.

COVID Entry Requirements for China | China Duo Test

Currently, anyone travelling to China requires reports of their nucleic acid (COVID-19) and IgM (antibody) tests from the same service provider. This means you must have combined negative PCR swab and IgM antibody test to enter the country.

At London Doctors Clinic, we are offering a PCR swab and IgM antibody combination test which are suitable for the COVID entry requirements for China. This combination test needs to be taken within 48 hours of travelling to China.

The combination test detects whether you currently have and/or previously had COVID-19.
