Day two PCR testing scrapped in time for half-term holidays

Returning holidaymakers can opt for cheaper and quicker lateral flow tests instead of expensive day two PCR tests from 24 October.

The change to the post-arrival day two test will come into effect ready for those returning from half-term trips.

It applies to fully vaccinated people arriving from countries not on the red list.

The government announced the long awaited change and said lateral flow test kits must be from approved suppliers.

Will the suppliers try to profiteer like they did with PCR tests? Government should put a fixed price in place.
That said, these shouldn't be required at all for the fully vaccinated, in line with the EU.

No, the pre departure test for fully vaccinated has been scrapped. No pre departure test required.
