RT-PCR test Rio de Janeiro
Is anyone aware of a laboratory in Rio de Janeiro that offers RT-PCR tests with results in less than 24 hrs?
Any reply is greatly appreciated.
Oscar.

Friend of mine needed one last week and she couldn't find anything less than 48h, it looks like Rio is really behind other brazilian cities.

The website is here.
In case you don’t want to risk not getting a result with a whole bunch of people at the same time trying to get a test or don’t want to get to the airport 8hrs before your flight, they have an option to do it in São Paulo at Mooca Plaza Shopping. Hours are:
From Monday to Saturday - 10:00 to 19:00
Sundays and holidays -14:00 to 20:00.
Results delivered by 7am next day.

Be prepared for a wait of about an hour or so at the location at Mooca Plaza Shopping. I was there two weeks ago in the afternoon and the whole process took about 1 1/2 hours from arrival to departure. If you need the test for travel you must present your passport (even if you have other ID).

I am waiting for my Uber at SDU and a clinic in the Bossa Nova Mall is advertising them. Don't know the turnaround time.

I ended up going with Lach Laboratorio in Jardim Botanico.
They offer the following for PCR:
Result in up to 2 working days R$350.00
Result in up to 1 working day R$500.00
Result on the same business day R$650.00
Result in up to 4 hours R$920.00
There is an extra R$100 surcharge to have the result in a foreign language.
Quite steep prices imo, however it was the only lab i found in Rio that could deliver results in less than 24h.
