Switch PCR LAMP test sold out at his time!
But I am on the waiting list. Thanks so much for telling all about it!
Sounds like award space might become plentiful again as it was during 2020 =)
Anyone planning to go to South Africa in the next few months is, I world say 。。。。insane…. In light of these new extremely contagious variants. We still don’t have any idea how dangerous it is, and whether current vaccines would be effective at all…. You are not only endanger your own health and life, but also those around you. And you could become one of those Super-Spreader….
If you think that’s insane. Curious what you think of those of us that were traveling during the pandemic “pre-vaccine” 😀
“Extremely Dangerous”. ..where did that come from? Was only discovered 5 days ago and WHO is actually stating that borders should NOT be closed at this time and these countries that have, are not following suggested protocols. However, as a professional healthcare worker I see and continue to see/deal with first hand the incorrect information and unnecessary panic/fear that the media produces during this pandemic. And as for “endangering those around me”…. what about the health and life of the millions of people in this developing nation that has been struggling even prior to the pandemic and now has further salt in the wounds, as they live hand to mouth daily. No CERB there!. So if you think I’m insane and that cutting South Africa and the other African nations is the way to go at this time (but not the first world countries where it has also been detected) then fine, but just think of them when you go to get your booster and how they have a very limited vaccine supply for even 1st time shots or someone you know collects some form of government financial support. As for me, I will go and show them my support.
Gwen,
My understanding is that you are going to Africa to help as a healthcare worker. Huge respect. The goal of new restrictions (and some comments here) is limiting non-essential travel to control the new variant spread. The world understands the importance of helping poor countries with their vaccination effort, and Canada is doing it’s part – like recent donation of 2 million doses of Moderna vaccine to Uganda.
Well said Gwen. As a fellow hcw, totally agree.
Sorry correction…”extremely contagious”…
I have a trip booked and still intent to go to South Africa at the end of the year. Biggest hurtle is of course the PCR test intransit for final flight from connecting airport. I’m returning mid Feb so fingers crossed as new changes presently imposed until end of January 2022. My thought if extended is to utilize the Switch Health Lamp Test from the connecting location? This ‘technically’ fulfils that requirement would it not and avoiding the money grabbing costs of rapid PCR tests in terminals?? In my opinion, the virus is here to stay and variants, as pointed out, is inevitable. And having the US “red” list South Africa, who has mandatory mask, curfews and a few other precautions in place vs no masks…is painting the kettle black..wouldn’t you say.
Incidentally, I was also planning to go to Cape Town too for a quick trip next week, but I’ll be rescheduling that because the US ban messes up my return flights.
“Technically” I don’t think the Switch Health test would fulfill the requirement to get a negative test done at your last point of departure. Previously, there was no requirement for the location of the tests, so the Switch Health would’ve been OK.
