How To Do A PCR Test

Imahe
  You may be considering going for a PCR test if you want to be tested for Covid-19. Before the PCR test is done, you will need to find your nearest Royal Mail priority postbox or book a courier to collect it. You will also need to register your PCR home test kit on GOV.UK if you need to (some test kits have already been registered). A test kit that is already registered will have a ‘Registered Kit’ label on the outer bag. If you have an order confirmation email, it will tell you if the test kit is already registered. Remember that you should only use the test kit registered to you or you will not be sent a result. If you need help to register or do the test, you can find a video showing how to do a PCR home test on YouTube. There are step-by-step guides for doing a rapid antigen test for travel at home, including easy read and translated versions. Do not hesitate call 119 (free from mobiles and landlines) if you need extra support. Lines are open every day, 7am to 11pm. If ...

A Look At The Status Of Day 2 Testing In The UK

Imahe
  A day 2 test used to be mandatory for everyone who wanted to enter the UK sometime back, but it seems like the test is being scrapped off for fully vaccinated travelers within 48 hours of arriving in England in a boost to holidaymakers and the travel industry. In January 2022, the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, announced the change to the remaining testing requirements for fully jabbed arrivals. The testing requirement was removed on 11 February, just before school’s break for half-term. Passengers who are not fully vaccinated no longer need to self-isolate or take a test on the eighth day after arriving. However, they are still supposed to fill out passenger locator form to show proof of a negative Covid test taken 2 days before they travel, and to take a rapid antigen test within 2 days of arriving. The definition of “fully vaccinated” remains as two doses rather than three. The passenger locator form, which has to be filled out within 48 hours of arriving in Britain, has...

Things To Know About Day 2 Tests

Imahe
  If you plan to travel internationally, testing for Covid-19 is now a requirement. Many also need to take tests to return home. A day 2 test is required for every level of the traffic-light system, but exactly when is day two, and when do you take a test? The day 2 test should be taken either on or before day two. The days are counted from the day after arrival. For instance, if you arrive in the UK on a Friday, then day one is Saturday and day two is Sunday. It is important to book and pay for a day 2 test before traveling. You need to leave enough time for it to be delivered to your address in England. It is also possible to take a day two test on arrival from an airport provider, for instance they are available at Heathrow and Manchester airports from £69. Keep in mind that you risk being fined if you don’t take the required test. This test is mandatory, and it is supposed to be a PCR test, regardless of how long you intend to stay in the United Kingdom. You will have to...
