Hi, hope someone can help. Do I need a PCR test to get back to the UK or can we have the Antigen test with the report? Thanks in advance.

Hi Lucymae1,

The information you need is on the government website - in summary:

Before you leave for the UK

Everyone travelling to the UK must:

  • book at least one coronavirus (COVID-19) test for after you arrive
  • provide your contact details by completing the online passenger locator form
  • provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken in the 3 days before you leave for the UK
  • follow the testing and quarantine rules in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland

You don´t say which of the UK countries you´re returning to, so if you look on the Gov.UK website for entry to England, it also includes links to the websites for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland:

Kind regards,

Kim
