how does that even work ? It’s a 20-30 hour flight from the US depending on flight times, connections etc. Even if you managed to get results in 48 hours, then another 24 hours for the flights. The results are no good.

When I went in August. I flew EK so I got a test done but the 96 hours was tight it to get results. If you are supposed to fly on monday/Tuesday. It may be impossible to get results.
