Swab test before leaving Cambodia?
Re: Swab test before leaving Cambodia?
I am hearing lots of story's of people in quarantine waiting 3 days for their results back. My friend is just out today, Monday, after having his 13 day test last Thursday. I know these are not high priority.
Are the travel tests and certificates getting priority as people have airline bookings?

Re: Swab test before leaving Cambodia?
Yea, the testing facilities are overwhelmed at the moment, some people have reported waiting up 96 hours for their day 13 test results and release from quarantine I hope it's calmed down a bit when I arrive back soon!Doc67 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:17 pmI am hearing lots of story's of people in quarantine waiting 3 days for their results back.

The pre-flight testing at NIPH is guaranteed for results the following day...it needs to be or else it will impact peoples travel plans.

I did my test Wednesday, results and certificate collected 5:30pm Thursday, Flew out on Fridaydaeum_tnaot wrote:Hi PSD Kiwi, that's great, thank you! SO we can do it on the weekend. We are looking at a last minute departure.PSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:33 am @daeum_tnaot disregard the post about relocation of testing, they only relocated for 2 days during the initial Feb outbreak. Testing is back at the NIPH now...
The only clinic in PP authorised to conduct PCR testing for the purpose of overseas travel is the National Institute of Public Health - NIPH
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZWUDMbtGdiZkRtbv6
- Open 7 days for testing, including public holidays
- 0730-1200hrs/1330-1730hrs
- Cost is $130
- must take your passport
- Medical Certificate and lab report are issued the following day between 1700 - 1900hrs, regardless of what time you get tested the day before
- Medical Certificate is dated the day issued, lab report states date/time sample collected
- You can register beforehand at
https://www.nphl.niph.org.kh/covid19/en
As far as you are aware, is there any advantage to registering in advance?
I registered online beforehand, it meant I didn’t have to fill out paperwork when I arrived and just showed them a screenshot of my registration(it has a barcode)
Also required is to show your flights, I didn’t yet have my flights booked so when i was in the queue i just screenshot the flight details of the flight i was planning to get, all they checked was the day of departure and destination (i think its just for proof your test is for travel)

Re: Swab test before leaving Cambodia?
Also to note its
$130 PCR test and flight certificate
$150 PCR & antibody test and flight certificate
Just incase you want to find out if you’ve already had covid and already got antibodies, they also do the antibody test

Hi, thanks, that's interesting about the antibody test. I wasn't aware that's an option.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 2:58 pm Also to note its

So it's possible to be negative for Covid but you have the antibody? In this case you would be allowed to fly?
Re: Swab test before leaving Cambodia?
For those who are travelling to a country with short timing restrictions in regards to the PCR test, the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge can conduct testing on site with same day results.
This is not available for everyone - only for those who require faster turn around of results due to PCR test requirements of their final destination.
You MUST make an appointment via email, and you are required to attach your flight tickets and a copy of your passport bio-page.
Costs 75$ including certificate.

Thank you for your email. We have well noted your appointment on Saturday 24 April 2021 from 7h30am to 9am.
Thank you to read carefully the email below:
If you didn’t already send us in your previous mail, thank you to send BEFORE your appointment all the information we need:
• The list of all the patients with : Last name, First name, Date of Birth, Sex, Nationality
• The complete Lab request form of Ministry of Health (Patient’s information part) (see attached) for each patient: don’t forget to mention how many times you have already been tested for COVID-19.
• Copy (picture etc…) of your Passport
You can find attached the process for your appointment, thank you to read it.
I allow myself to insist: the day of your appointment, please wear a mask and call the secretary (012 812 003) when you arrive at IPC. A secretary will come to pick you up and bring you to the sampling room. Indeed, in order to always minimize the possible risk of contamination, we prefer that patients who come for COVID screening don’t cross the other patients of the Laboratory.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
Best regards,
Afiny

yeah the antibody test doesnt mean you currently have covid it just means youve got antibodies in your system which means at some point in the past youve had covid, it doesnt effect flightdaeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 2:03 pmHi, thanks, that's interesting about the antibody test.
