Jumbo1968 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Is the 72 hours the time test is taken or the time you receive the certificate, will the time of the test be on the certificate ? I was going to have my test at Boots in the U.K., the 72 hours prior to my flight time is 17.30, they close at 17.30, I would have to wait till they open the following day in the morning for the test, the samples are not collected till around 16.00 so I could be cutting it fine to receive the results.

Certainly not the spirit of a recent test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many countries 72 hours is not enough time to get the test and have a certificate issued. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be concerned about permission by the airline to board you. Flights to Oz certainly require PCR test taken within 3 days of initial departure and a quick google same for most int. destinations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
