Hello Albania Team Members!
We can’t wait to see you in just a matter of weeks! You should be getting your flight packets very soon. We wanted to send you some very important information about the COVID-19 testing prior to your trip. We will keep you informed of any changes before you travel.
All travelers will need to have a negative test result before boarding their first flight for Albania. GV team members will need to be tested no earlier than 7:00am on Tuesday, July 6th. You will need to have a print and digital copy of your negative test result prior to travel.
The test that you will need to take is called RT-PCR Test. Most tests can give results within 36-72 hours to process unless you can get expedited processing. PLEASE CONFIRM GUARANTEED PROCESSING TIMES BEFORE CONFIRMING YOUR TESTING APPOINTMENT.
If you completed your COVID-19 vaccination series, you do not have to get tested. As you travel, we ask that you bring your CDC vaccination card along with a digital copy on your phone.
We advise that you contact your doctor’s office or local health department to see what testing options are in your area and the processing times. At this time, we are not allowing “self-test” kits that you do from home due to credibility and punctuality issues.
Below is information that may help you find testing options in your area:
1. Start by talking to your doctor about where the best place is to get a RT-PCR test.
2. Most Walgreens and CVS pharmacies offer RT-PCR testing.
3. There is an online portal called Test for Travel that may show providers in your city. **This website may not show all options in your area**
If you live in the Tulsa area, we recommend the following places:
- Alpha Labs – located at the Tulsa Airport in United Airlines baggage claim. To book an appointment visit https://testwithalpha.com/antigen/
- Cedar Creek Labs – More Info: https://cedarcreeklab.com/covid-19-testing/

Many blessings,
Terri Bell,
