Moore saw that her airline required PCR COVID tests prior to the flight, but she didn’t notice the rules about how close to the travel date the specimen must be collected.
“It didn’t occur to me that it has to be three days with the time the test was taking the specimen,” Moore told NBC10 Responds.
The airline would not accept her or her daughter’s tests, which were taken six days prior to the flight. Instead they directed her to a testing facility inside of JFK Airport.
Moore says she went to the kiosk for Adams Health Services and told them she needed two PCR tests. The cost: $798.
