Reminder on the medical document for COVID-19

According to the comments of the Russian competent authority in the field of public health (Rospotrebnadzor) all foreign citizens (including small children) arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation should provide information on the negative result of the study of the material for COVID-19 by PCR method, made not earlier than three calendar days before arrival on the territory of the Russian Federation.

All kind of test results other than by PCR method cannot be accepted. Neither are accepted any test confirmations from the NHS. We recommend to make a PCR test only in certified laboratories such as, for example, London Medical Laborator,County Pathology Laboratory, The Doctors Laboratory which can confirm the PCR method in due time.

Following the airline practice, passengers without a printed medical document confirming a negative PCR test for COVID-19 shall not be allowed to board the aircraft (by the decision of the airline).
