Rare Turtles06 Posted August 30, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2021 From Celebrity's current FAQ page: "What Type of Covid-19 tests are accepted? If your sailing requires a pre-cruise test, here are some details about the kind of test you’ll need. Accepted Types of Tests and Results There are two common types of diagnostic COVID-19 tests and we accept either one: A molecular test, also called a PCR test or NAAT test An antigen test, also called a rapid antigen test The test must be supervised by a health professional, such as a doctor, pharmacy technician, public health worker, or telehealth representative. You must receive a valid results document from your test provider that includes provider name, your name, the date the test was taken, type of test, and your negative result. This can be a printed document, email, or telehealth app notification. Handwritten doctor’s notes will not be accepted. Telehealth testing at home is only accepted when it meets certain guidelines. See below. Tests We Do Not Accept Antibody tests are not accepted, as they do not detect a current infection. Home test kits that are self-administered at home, and not supervised live by a telehealth professional, are also not accepted. More on Telehealth Testing Telehealth self-tests taken at home under supervision must meet these requirements: The test must have Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. FDA. The self-test process must happen under live supervision on a video call with a telehealth representative. The telehealth provider must issue you a result document that includes all the necessary information. Two tests that meet these parameters are the Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card Test available through the Abbott Navica app, or the eMed Covid-19 Test with Video Observation Services. More on Abbott Brand Tests Abbott tests have become a popular and commonly available COVID-19 test brand. Here’s what’s acceptable. Any Abbott brand test administered on site by a pharmacy technician or other health professional is accepted. They must provide you with a proper results document (no handwritten notes). The Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card Test, which is taken at home and supervised by a telemedicine professional, is accepted. It must be taken under live video supervision. The Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test, which is taken at home and not supervised by a medical professional, is NOT accepted." https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/faqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
