Covid Tests for return to UK - help!
Hi
Apologies in advance if I'm repeating obvious questions, but.....
We will be flying to the UK from Ibiza on 21st July and will need a Covid test before our flight.
I've seen several places online in Ibiza that will do both PCR and Antigen tests - the former being much more expensive.
The advice from the UK government states that an acceptable test "must meet the performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 1000,000 copies/ml." The website then goes on to say that " this could include tests such as a PCR test or an Antigen test".
Does anyone know if either of the two tests available are acceptable to the UK government, as this information seems a bit conflicting. Obviously we would go for the cheaper option if it were acceptable!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance.
