Figoush Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Anybody know where to get a local rapid test on Sunday for Monday flight to the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 The last time I flew to the US was just after Christmas and I needed to get a Covid-19 Antigen test. I decided to get mine at the Hospital San Antonio where my GP practices. I phoned up several days beforehand and made an appointment for a day before my flight. To make a long story short, it all worked out well. I got my test with negative results and I flew out the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevalerieleigh Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Does anyone know if the lab just west of El Torito is still doing tests? If so, does anyone know the hours and costs? Thanks, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I know Best Lab will have someone come to your home for about 850 pesos. Good option is you have symptoms (we tested negative fortunately). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 200 pesos. We walked to Scallions for coffee and the results were ready 30 min. later - both hard copy and by email. No problem being accepted by American Airlines at GDL on Thursday AM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the lab that is in the little strip mall that Fed Ex, AT&T and Biencom Realty office are in? I have to get a test Wednesday morning to fly to the states to see my daughters on Thursday.

Correct.... It's Chopo and in the strip plaza immediately west of Marisa's and the Real Estate office. If you click on the following link, it will show you where it is. You go in the very left entrance and follow the hallway to the end and turn right . It's right there. If you zoom in on the map view, the entrance is in front of the motorcycle. https://www.google.ca/maps/@20.3002003,-103.2560909,3a,36.4y,185.71h,86.23t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s7zgvSbpFToI2z3Z7EgJE0g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevalerieleigh Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Guest ended up getting his test done in the parking lot of the GDL airport. Said it took about 1 hour from start to results. We sent him with our driver with plenty of time to accomplish this task. Cheers and wishing safety to all, Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyQQ Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 So it looks like testing is still required to fly from GDL to the states? I wonder how long that will be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked their website and it shows 700 pesos. That's with a discount from regular price of 875 pesos.

johanson Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Yep, I too went to the Laboratorio Clinica Epsilon and the price was only $200 pesos and I had to wait some 25 minutes until I got my results. And for you old timers who remember where Lagunanet's office was. It's in the same building, but on the first floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 If your test requires a QR code Epsilon does not have one on their report. Just depends on what requirements for where you are fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InChapala1 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Does the U.S. require test results with a QR code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I don’t think so as the Walmart results did not have a QR code. I was shown a copy of a test result and the page was pretty sparse compared to Walmarts result. I am travel to a country that requires test be done by certified lab health facility or hospital. Since Epsilon results could not be scanned or verified I decided to go elsewhere where a QR code is on the results. I did not see a Chopo sign anywhere and did not see it on the results. The price is 200 pesos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InChapala1 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 does that mean Laboratorio Clinica Epsilon is not a certified lab? Anyone have issues w flying to the U.S. w results from Laboratorio Clinica Epsilon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I flew to the US last Tuesday and had no problems because I used Laboratorio Clinica Epsilon. I was never asked for a QR code, whatever that is. . .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A QR code (an initialism for quick response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) invented in 1994 by the Japanese automotive company Denso Wave. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that can contain information about the item to which it is attached. In practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to store data efficiently; extensions may also be used."
