Thank you Chris, I did hear that they only done Antigen tests? Are you sure they do PCR tests too? Many thanks

THEY HAVE ADVERTISED THAT THEY DO PCR TESTS. But that’s all I know for the Urba area.

Hi everyone, we’re back out to Roquetas tomorrow. We were last there a few weeks ago and used the lab above Scotias for a lateral flow test. All good. 

The Gov.uk website states that travellers returning to the UK from amber countries must have a lateral flow test or PCR test before return to the UK, but those returning from Spain “should” have a PCR test. The wording gives the impression that a PCR test is advised but doesn’t seem to be absolutely compulsory. 

I wonder what the general experience is? If we just have a lateral flow test as before, will we be allowed to fly home?

Thanks

Richard

Yes.it is solely advice or a recommendation from the U.K. govt. Not mandatory i.e. not a requirement.
