Dominica Discover Authority (DDA) informs the public and visitors to the Nature Island that they can easily book their outbound (departure) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Antigen tests. It is recommended that visitors schedule the required tests for their departure as early as possible after arriving.<\/p>\n

PCR tests can be booked online via https:\/\/pcrbooking.dominica.gov.dm<\/a> as well as via WhatsApp (767) 611 3905. Once the date, time, and other key information are uploaded for the appointment (via the portal); the traveler receives an email confirmation to his\/her inbox\/junk mail. Travelers can then proceed to make payment online via the Government of Dominica – Payment Portal<\/a> or to the Cashier located at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital. \u00a0PCR tests cost one hundred Eastern Caribbean Dollars ($100 EC) and travelers are reminded to walk with the printed receipt, passport, and vaccination card on the day of testing.<\/p>\n

The PCR test site is located at the Windsor Park Stadium and the entrance to access the site is right after the Digicel office on Bath Road, Roseau. Travelers are encouraged to be on time for appointments and once the test is completed, results will be sent via email in a 24\u201348-hour window. If travelers are required to produce a hard copy of the results, a form of identification is required for collection.<\/p>\n

For countries that are accepting the Antigen test for entry, travelers can have the test completed at La Falaise Lab and Adam\u2019s Pharmacy. La Falaise Lab, Roseau can be contacted via 767-440-4583 or WhatsApp 767-276-5213 to schedule an appointment. The cost of the test is one hundred and fifty Eastern Caribbean Dollars ($150 EC) for days Monday through Friday and two hundred Eastern Caribbean Dollars ($200 EC) for weekends and public holidays. Within an hour of testing, all travelers will receive their results. Test results can be sent to the traveler\u2019s email upon request and there is an additional fee for a call out service.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Adam\u2019s Pharmacy, Roseau can be contacted via 767-275-1686 to schedule an appointment. The cost of the test is one hundred and forty Eastern Caribbean Dollars ($140 EC), for days Monday through Friday and one hundred and seventy Eastern Caribbean Dollars ($170 EC) for after-hour services. Within thirty minutes of testing, all travelers will receive their results.<\/p>\n
