Among the latest changes to regulations on international travel restrictions in light of the Covid-19 pandemic is that all international travellers arriving at OR Tambo, King Shaka and Cape Town International Airports must provide a valid certificate of a negative Covid-19 test upon their arrival.
To meet this increased demand for testing by international travellers using the airport who need Covid tests, retail pharmacy chain Dis-Chem is now offering Covid-19 rapid Antigen tests at OR Tambo and Cape Town International Airports.
While Dis-Chem have offered antigen and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing at their national network of stores for a while, the updated travel rules have resulted in them extending their testing sites to two of the three South African airports currently open for international travel.
