Does Spain recognise the lateral flow test results. We believe Matt Handcock put the decimal point in the wrong place and bought too many, they are free in England to do twice weekly testing.1 in 1000 may result in a false positive whereby you do a PCR Test whilst isolating to prove whether you have it or not.

 They are now starting to do extensive testing to check the reliability of the flow kit to allow you to carry on working through testing if you come into contact with someone who has covid. 

Our daughter did the kids to show us how to do it. Swab up the nose for 10 turns on the top of each nostril, whilst she put the liquid in the test tube.Put the swab in the liquid, put a drop of the liquid on the test bed, "Alexa" set an alarm for 30mins .........every thing negative go to school.

It will help a lot of us when traveling to have the money to spend in Spain rather than £200 per person on a PCR test.

Also noticed Spain's car hire has gone up £150.00 overnight this weekend. Supply and demand or make up for lost revenue or Brexit wonder what your thoughts are......Prices also being hiked.over here in the UK on holiday accommodation by certain people

Why do ALL car hire prices go up over night, is there no competative market in operation. Or are the brits paying more ?

Whether they will accept one or not you are unlikely to be able to DIY using your own test kit.
