Taking the reins
“Let’s have some tests done.” I’m sure most of you will have heard this from your GP after explaining in a first consultation why you are “not feeling yourself”.

When it comes to detecting Covid-19, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises PCR testing as the Gold Standard. It’s the most accurate way to detect Covid-19 infection, and that’s also why the EU Aviation Safety Agency recommends it for travellers.
