Tahiti COVID Restrictions Feasible?

Here are the current restrictions for Tahiti travel... I've had a flight booked for end of August for a long time now (way before the virus) and still haven't cancelled yet. But how feasible is it for someone to get a test 3 days before traveling AND get the results back. Aren't most tests taking days at this point to get results (in NYC if that matters).A SARS-CoV-2 virus genome test (the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test) has to be carried out by all travelers in a health authority center (hospital, clinic, medical centre, Covid-19 testing Center, or medical analysis laboratory) within three days before the flight to Tahiti (at the passenger’s expense).

Ex: If the flight departs on a Monday at 11pm, the passenger needs to take the test the preceding Friday and receive the test results between that Friday and the scheduled flight departure time on Monday.
