Update information for travellers departing South Africa from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport: you can get COVID-19 PCR-tests and collect your certificate at the airport prior to departure.
National Health Laboratory Service (www.nhls.ac.za/) is operating three mobile COVID-19 Test Units in clearly identifiable vans located opposite the InterContinental Hotel, in front of the Police Station, on the lower level of the airport complex.
The service is available 24/7 according to Port Health Services, at a cost of ZAR600 (cash, cheque cards and credit cards are accepted, except American Express) per person. Children under five years old do not require a test.
Results are available in four to six hours and the traveller is advised by SMS that the test result and certificate are ready for collection. After testing, travellers can wait for the SMS at the airport or nearby, collect the certificate, and proceed to fly. Alternatively, the test may be done a day or two prior to departure if preferred, and the certificate collected on the day of departure.
