Hello all,

Does anyone know where one gets a covid test in Cabo Roof / lazenia

Do you know what the procedure is, I'm not a resident but a holiday home owner!  I'm in the UK right now, but I understand that before one can return to the UK you have to prove a negative test to uk immigration?

Here testing is free, but probably not in spain, any advice at the grass roots level would be appreciated.

Kindest regards to all 

Ash

Hi Ash,

Testing in the UK is only free via the NHS for medical need.  Tests to comply with foreign travel regulations have to be paid for in both the UK and Spain.  The UK government has today published which tests are acceptable for entry to England:

As well as private facilities, such as Quiron Hospital and clinics such as IMED, some pharmacies are also conducting tests.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi Kim/Ash,

I have just been to Imed in torrvieja this morning just checking location route etc as we are booked for 29/7 very professional operational little hospital. £35 each on credit card just in case.

I tried booking some others in Cabo Roig and have been told lies apparently they need a licence to do the testing.

I think when booking the more professional the company ie hospital the more chance you have as new testing centres seem to be popping up everywhere.

Good luck everyone
