Hi, Good day!
I am from Metro Manila. May I ask when is the best time my RT-PCR Test should be taken? My scheduled flight to Boracay is on Nov. 29, 2020 (Sunday). Usually test results are given within 3-5days, can I have my sample taken on Nov. 25 so that the result may be expected to be given on Nov. 28,2020 (Saturday) one day before my scheduled flight. Hope you can help me on this.
Thank you and regards,
Filben John Mariano.
