An antigen test should be sufficient.

Yes, euro fin is the company at the airport in the check in area. Look up the website. Current prices should be on there and best to make an appt.

HI, just to clarify, when you say 'antigen test' is this the same as the lateral flow we can do at home, but done by an approved provider, results within 30 mins, and the PCR is when you have to wait for the result to be sent to you?   I understand that the PCR is advised only, rather than a legal requirement?  different websites seem to refer to tests by different names.  

Does anyone feel that the requirements may change again soon?

Thanks Julie
