Who needs a covid-19 PCR test?
- Both vaccinated and unvaccinated after arrival in England.
If you are vaccinated and returning to the UK you are required to take a PCR test on or before your second day in the country. This test is to be booked before you travel. You then need to quarantine as you wait for your result.
If you are not fully vaccinated, upon your return to the UK you are required to take both a day 2 and a day 8 PCR test. These must be booked before your return to the UK and once booked, you will be issued a unique code for your passenger locator form. These tests must be paid for in advance and are non-refundable. If you test negative for the day 2 test then you will not be required to complete the day 8 test but you must continue to complete the required quarantine.
*Please note - Some countries will accept Antigen tests in lieu of PCR tests, refer to government guidelines for more information.
Who needs an Antigen test?
- People who aren't fully vaccinated.
If you are not fully vaccinated an Antigen test must be completed in the three days prior to travelling back to England, costing £35.
*Travel antigen packs that have been previously purchased — prior to 22nd October 2021 will not be a valid alternative for a day 2 test.
*Please note - Some countries still require PCR tests for fully vaccinated travellers, refer to government guidelines for more information.
Who needs to self-isolate?
- Everyone must quarantine whilst waiting for the result of their PCR tests.
- Anyone testing positive will need to isolate in line with government guidelines.
