Day 2 Tests

<< < (2/4) > >>

BAJ:
Randox seem to be well organised. Evertonendo you will need the booking reference which will start RAND…….. , different to the order number, for your return to UK PLF forms.
Have a good holiday

BAJ:
Did our day 2 PCR tests at the Randox test centre at East Mids airport yesterday at 5.30pm and got the negative result email at lunchtime today.
My other observation is regards the pre departure test in San Stef. We did it at the clinic, 30€ and had prebooked it via email. However the clinic was getting very busy with only one person answering the phone, dealing with walk in queries and conducting the tests. We were booked at 10am, but so were several other people and there was a queue most mornings back onto the road, standing in the sun. If I were returning this year I would take a test with me, as apparently you just upload an image of your test result to the company website you use and they email back the certificate.

We've been lucky enough to have 2 separate holidays in the last couple of months and due to certain circumstances tried different providers. First of all we used the Randox option (£48 each) and requested the post to home test. This one was fine, but as you do it yourself and post it back to them it seems a bit of a farce as there was no checks at all that you've done the test correctly. We have been doing our own LFT's twice weekly, so we're confident it was correct, but I thought the whole idea of a PCR test was that it was done professionally, hey ho.  Second time around and after returning from San Stef last week we used the drive-through Express Test option at Birmingham Airport (£60 each). This was very well organised and a very thorough medical professional completed the test. Results from both providers came through in about 24 hours.

The antigen testing in resort was also a very different experience. First we used the Eurofins test at Fuerteventura airport (27 Euro each), very thorough and provided by medical professionals in full PPE), results back in about 30 minutes. Whilst in San Stef (30 euro) we booked into the local clinic (opposite Condor). Good communication by email to be fair to them, but the actual test hardly touched the sides (one poke) and seemed very light touch. Result was back in 24 hours.

Hopefully the need to pay for these type of test will disappear soon, but for now whilst we have to comply I would say its well worth the additional cost, especially as flight prices are so cheap at the moment. Our Corfu friends are making the experience as good as it can be and are all adhering to covid regulations. The whole holiday felt very safe indeed.

If you need any advice please let me know.
