All travellers arriving in the UK from an Amber list country are required to take Day 2 & Day 8 tests.
If you are travelling to the UK from a country on the green list, only a Day 2 test is required.
At Ghosh Medical, we're proud to offer postal Covid testing kits for international travel.
Day 2 PCR Tests
Travelling from a green country, you'll need to complete a passenger locator form, take a negative COVID-19 Antigen test in the country you are located, and book a day 2 COVID-19 test with Ghosh Medical. We now offer a postal green country travel kit, with everything you need to return to the UK.
Day 2 & Day 8 PCR Tests
If you are traveling to an amber country, you'll also need you to quarantine at home or in the place you are staying for 10 days and also book a COVID-19 PCR test to be taken on or before day 2 and on or after day 8 with Ghosh Medical. We now offer a postal amber country travel kit, with everything you need to return to the UK.
