Hi everyone can anyone make clear for me? Is a RT- PCR coronavirus test? A home test kit or a visit clinic test? Where can I get one?

TLDR : Answer Summary

An RT-PCR coronavirus test is a clinical test that requires a visit to a healthcare facility, where you will receive a certificate with the test results. The processing of the test typically takes overnight. Home test kits do not qualify as RT-PCR, as those are usually lateral flow or lamp tests. For testing locations, you can check facilities like Randox or search for clinics near you.

RT PCR requires a trip to a clinic with a nice wait for the lab to process it (generally overnight).
