Things To Know About Day 2 Testing For Covid-19

 

PCR test

In response to the Omicron variant, the United Kingdom now requires all people traveling there to show a negative Covid-19 test on arrival. This can be either an antigen or a PCR test, but it should be done in the 48 hours before departure.

All travelers are supposed to do a pre-departure test no matter their vaccination status or where they have travelled from. The rules are different for red list arrivals. The announcement was made by the United Kingdom Health Secretary on Twitter. This is in addition to doing a rapid antigen test on or before the end of day 2 (day 2 test).

The latest update to the United Kingdom travel rules says that children aged 12 to 15 years old are being issued with NHS COVID passes for holidays abroad. In a statement, the United Kingdom government said that anyone wishing to travel to the UK from countries as well as territories not on the red list must be able to show proof of a negative PCR or lateral flow pre-departure test, taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. This applies to vaccinated passengers and children who are 12 years and above.

So, when is it best time to take a pre-departure test? It is recommended to take the test as close to your departure as possible. This is because omicron has a reduced incubation period. But you need to do it in the 48 hours before your departure time. It is the responsibility of the airlines to check that all testing rules have been followed. Anyone who tries to check in for their flight without a negative test shouldn’t be allowed to board.
