Covid-19 PCR and Antigen Testing for Outbound Travel
The public and visitors to the beautiful Nature Island can easily book their outbound (departure) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Antigen tests. Visitors are recommended to schedule the required tests for their departure as early as possible after arriving.
PCR tests can be booked online via https://pcrbooking.dominica.gov.dm 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 or to the Cashier located at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital. PCR 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.
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.
