Getting a Rapid Test · 快速检测
basicHi, I need a COVID test. My flight back to China requires a negative result. Do you offer rapid tests?
你好,我需要做新冠检测。回中国的航班要求阴性结果。你们有快速检测吗?
Yes, we offer rapid antigen tests. Results are ready in 15 minutes. It's $25 without insurance. Do you need an official printed certificate, or is a digital result OK?
有的,我们有快速抗原检测。15分钟出结果。没有保险的话25美元。你需要正式打印的证明还是电子结果就行?
I need a printed certificate with a QR code. My airline specifically asked for that.
需要有二维码的打印证明。航空公司特别要求的。
No problem — we can provide that. I'll need your passport and flight information. The test is a nasal swab. Have you done one before?
没问题——可以提供。需要你的护照和航班信息。检测是鼻拭子。以前做过吗?
Yes, I've done it before. Go ahead.
做过。来吧。
OK, tilt your head back slightly... I'm going to insert the swab into each nostril for about 5 seconds. It might feel a bit uncomfortable. Ready? ... All done. Please have a seat in the waiting area. Your result will be ready in about 15 minutes.
好的,头稍微往后仰……我要把拭子伸进每个鼻孔大约5秒。可能会有点不舒服。准备好了吗?……好了。请在等候区坐一下。大约15分钟出结果。
Thank you. What if it comes back positive?
谢谢。如果是阳性怎么办?
If it's positive, you should isolate and contact your airline about rebooking. We can also refer you to a telemedicine doctor who can prescribe antiviral medication if needed. You may also want to check your travel insurance for coverage of trip delays.
如果阳性,你应该自我隔离并联系航空公司改签。我们也可以帮你转介远程医生,需要的话可以开抗病毒药。你可能还要查一下旅行保险是否覆盖行程延误。
