New UK Arrival Tests

[ginger]

We travel back to UK on Sunday.

We have Day 2 LFT booked with Prenetics

I assume we’ll have to book PCR tests now?

Does anyone know when the new rules come into force - we’re due to land Monday morning at 9.20.

On the plus side - we’ve been in Orlando for nearly 3 weeks - had a bloody wonderful time and spent a fortune.

The details haven't been announced yet. The info I've been reading states 'next week' which isn't helpful.

I also read it as next week which as you say isn’t helpful
I fly home Wednesday but my PCR is already booked as when we left Scotland mid October it was PCRs on return

From Head for Points

Boris Johnson has just announced new measures for anyone returning to the UK from a trip to any destination.

Effective immediately, anyone returning to the UK must take a PCR test within two days of their return.

Importantly, you will need to self isolate until your test result is known. You may not immediately return to work or school.

Well, that ≈≈≈≈s up a half-term Saturday - Saturday (so, landing back on Sunday morning) half-term trip when two people need to be in school on the Monday morning.

You can get 3hour PCR tests but they are more expensive.

Sounds like it's going to cost more than dinner at the Cali Grill for those quick turnaround tests!

Thanks megaflyer
Honestly no changes for me as we are still wearing masks in Scotland and my PCR day two test was booked

ALthoug it appears they have watered down there FB post now to uncertain date. Like you I am not overly bothered by that change (it would mean I cant go to the theatre as planned and change my LFT for a PCR) but I can love with that what worries me (selfishly) is if US now mandate PCR on arrival and isolation - that would stop me travelling
