As we plan to fly to England soon we will need to have a negative coronavirus test.
We are having trouble finding somewhere local where we can have this test done.
Does anything know of somewhere, within our boundaries of san juan de los terreros?
I've just emailed evmedical in vera, they test for covid but not sure if acceptable for flying or what tests they do, I.e. PCR, TMA or LAMP. But I don't think uk govt have indicated yet what type of test they will accept...

Just found this on bbc website-
All international arrivals, including UK nationals, will have to present a negative COVID-19 test before they board a plane, train or boat bound for the UK, taken up to 72 hours before their journey began.
Transport Minister Grant Shapps told BBC Breakfast that government would be "flexible" about the tests required, including those that give a result "in 20 or 30 minutes".
This suggests it will accept results from rapid lateral flow tests, which are generally cheaper and easier to obtain than the "gold standard" PCR tests, which need to be developed in a lab.
So may be the tests at Vera might be acceptable...

trouble is that Vera is not in the boundaries of San Juan is it? So they wouldn't necessarily be able to travel to there.

Yes san juan does come in with the boundary of vera, both under almeria, andalusia, so we can travel within this area quite freely at the moment.
Thank you again Julie for your help
