Laboratories and healthcare institutions may use different terms which are equivalent to nucleic acid test.
The following are common acceptable terms for "nucleic acid test": "Polymerase chain reaction" ("PCR"), "reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction" ("RT-PCR"), "real time RT-PCR", "real-time PCR", "nucleic test", "qRT-PCR", "RT-qPCR", "nucleic acid amplification test" ("NAAT"), "TrueNAT", "CBNAAT", "Loop-mediated isothermal amplification" ("LAMP"), "Molecular diagnostics/test". Apart from "COVID-19", "SARS-CoV-2" is also an acceptable term for the virus.
Antigen test (e.g. SARS Antigen FIA test) and Antibody test (e.g. IgG Antibody test) are NOT accepted.

Whether this will apply for flights from May - wait and see
請教:
打算RT-PCR test 做next day 有result, 然後去Heathrow機場check in 回港, 請問是否需要預時間再返化驗中心攞hard copy result呢?還是化驗所只發email result 去check in都可以呢?還有其他啲Declaration forms, check in又是否一定要hard copies呀?
