I have a friend who was planning to come to the U.K. on Friday for an event that evening and then go home again on Saturday. With the new rules implemented today I can’t see how he will accomplish this. Maybe someone here knows better ?
As I understand it, when he arrives in England he will need to isolate and take a ‘Day 2’ PCR (can be taken immediately on arrival, doesn’t have to be day 2). However, the ‘Day 2’ PCR results take 24 hours to come back unlike the rapid PCR which take a few hours. The trouble is, whilst I believe the two tests are the same, he would have to take a designated ’day 2’ test as the ref number is required on the PLF and therefore won’t get the results in time for the Friday night event.
Is my summation correct or is there another way ?
Thank you much
