testing before arrival


Hopefully, we see dramatic improvements with the capacity increases being made by LabCorp and Quest. The fact that our for-profit healthcare system hasn't figured this out already boggles my mind. Most other developed nations are seeing results within 1-2 days -- some even faster.

More and more countries are requiring COVID-19 test results within 72-hours, so let's hope the healthcare industry fixes this. A lot can change in just a few weeks in this environment, so fingers crossed.
 
We are traveling at the end of the month and had planned on getting the rapid test from our doctor. Turnaround time was 24 hours. They just updated their website to state that they can no longer guarantee that due to the demand across the country. Currently the pre-test is not mandatory for us because we live in NY but we had planned on getting one anyway.
