COVID tests

[Heathy]

If a COVID test is required before returning to the UK, does anyone know whereabouts these are available in Corfu.

Hi Heathy,

From what I was reading in the UK press over the weekend, the lateral flow test (cheaper version) will be supplied before you travel, so that you have one to perform the test whilst you are away. Then, upon return you may need to take the more robust PCR test. But, there will be changes to process and what we will have to do for safe travel over the coming weeks and months, so expect changes and hopefully more cost effective testing.

Good luck.

This is apparently the latest advice regarding Testing
Mr. Shapps’ comments follow confusion about whether holidaymakers should travel to amber destinations.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Today: “The amber list and the red list are not for holidaymakers, that’s not the purpose of those lists at this time.

“We just think that after a year of lockdowns in this country, of people coming forward in record numbers to get their vaccines, we do not want to be in a position of taking risks at this stage about our unlock.”

Arrivals from amber-listed countries will need to self-isolate for 10 days and take two PCR tests post-arrival into the UK. They will also need to present a negative lateral flow test on arrival into the UK.

Hope this helps it was posted 1 hour ago on my news feed
