RT-PCR :: Transit Airport :: Confusion

[_Harry_]

I'm really confused on 1 point mentioned in official website which states -

Passengers who travel to Canada from India via an indirect route will need to obtain a pre-departure negative COVID-19 molecular test result from a third country before continuing their journey to Canada.

Now my concern is - layover at few transit airports is just couple of hours - usually 4 to 6 hrs. This time is not sufficient for taking an RT-PCR test and getting it's report back. So how can a person provide 72 hrs report if he/she won't be able to get the report back on time?

Or does it mean that person needs to book ticket till the transit country, take test, get report and then travel to Canada with new ticket? So basically not 1 ticket with transit but 2 separate tickets?

But it said in one of the lab website that result will be available in 2 hours, so I can clearance on the same date I take the rapid RT-PCR test at the airport. But you need to confirm with the lab when you do the booking. Usually you can receive your test report by email from your smartphone.
