Hi all

My wife has cold/flu symptoms and subsequently tested positive after a lateral flow test. We are here on vacation. Two questions

1) how do we arrange a PCR test for her and

2)do I also need to self isolate at the same time if I’m not positive?

TIA

Hello 

I've just been reading this on the government website and you should call them and they will give you all the advice you need. See the photo abs call your area number.

Also this is what I've copied for you.

I hope this is helpful to you both....

Testing positive for COVID-19 while in Spain

If you are tested and the result is positive, you must self-isolate in your accommodation and call your regional hotline or one of the alternative helpline numbers as set out above. You must remain in your accommodation until contacted by local Spanish authorities. Contact times may vary across regions and can take up to 48-72 hours.

You may be able to remain in your existing accommodation, or be required to transfer into a state hospital or other government-provided accommodation. You may be required to fund accommodation whilst you wait to be transferred.

The nature of your accommodation may differ from the specifications of your pre-booked hotel, villa or other place of stay.

Depending on local arrangements, travellers in groups may be required to stay in separate accommodation (e.g. if a sufficient number of rooms is not available in one venue, your group may be spread across different accommodation locations).

You should follow the advice of the local authorities at all times.

I know it's the lateral flow test that is positive which could be wrong and you will be able to have a PCR test to confirm this.

Hope this helps 

Sue 😘

Thank you Sue, I’ll try to call someone later. I tried one number but the menu was in Spanish, a language I don’t speak. Meantime we are in our own house so time and accommodation are thankfully no issue.

When she has her PCR test, you will also need to ask for a certificate of recovery to enable her to fly, as subsequent tests can come out positive for 90 days.
