In view of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rules on travel restrictions, numerous life science companies, laboratories and medical practices have started to offer Polymerase Chain Reaction  travel test services, more commonly known as PCR tests, for those who are travelling and returning from abroad and need to provide evidence of a negative Covid test result.

However, the UK Competition Markets Authority (CMA) has recently found evidence that some providers of PCR travel tests may be in breach of consumer laws due to misleading statements and prices.
