Important Things To Know About Day 2 Testing

 

Rapid Antigen Test For Travel

Are you planning to travel to the United Kingdom very soon? One of the requirements that you will need to successfully gain entry in the UK is a day 2 test.

While the new travel rules mean that day 8 Covid tests will no longer be required for those who have been fully vaccinated and are returning from non-red list destinations, day 2 tests remain a part of the United Kingdom’s Covid-19 return travel requirements.

So, what exactly is a day 2 Covid test? Anyone travelling to and from the United Kingdom at the moment will find that unless they are travelling to one of the 7 red list destinations, for which holidays and casual travel are not permitted, they will need to take a PCR test after returning to the United Kingdom.

According to the former traffic light travel system in Scotland and across the UK, people returning from amber list countries were required to take a PCR test within 2 days of arriving back in the country, with another day 8 test previously required several days later. However, with the traffic light system recently overhauled in favor of a simplified list of ‘go’ and ‘no-go’ travel destinations, the fully vaccinated travelers that are returning to the United Kingdom only need to take a PCR travel test within 2 days of arriving back in the United Kingdom.

You are probably wondering when to take your day 2 test. The day 2 Covid test requirement is still causing plenty of confusion, with the name implying that the test must be taken on the second day after returning to the United Kingdom. However, travelers returning to England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales can take the rapid antigen test for travel within 2 days of their return, and not necessarily on the second day.
