Within 3 days of your travel date to England, take a Covid-19 test with a negative result (please see government. You will need to request and buy a day 2 or day 2/8 Test Package before boarding for England.
A passenger locator form must be completed with your quarantine address and your Passenger Locator Form number which we provide on booking.
There is a ban on travel from red list countries to the UK. If you’re travelling from, or have passed through a red list country in the 10 days prior to arrival in England, you must adhere to the UK government’s guidelines.
If you are travelling from a ‘green’ listed country, you do not need to quarantine. If you test positive on the day 2 test you would need to quarantine for a further 10 days from the date of the test.
If you are travelling from an ‘amber’ listed country and you have returned two negative tests for day 2 and 8 you must quarantine for the full 10 days unless you have taken the Test to Release test which can be taken on day 5 after your arrival.
Please note if your day 8 test is negative, you must still quarantine for the full 10 days.
If your day 2 is positive you must quarantine from 10 days after your day 2 result. If you are in quarantine with people you have travelled with, they will also need to quarantine for 10 further days. If you receive a positive result for your day 2 test, you will not be required to take any further tests.
However, people you are staying with will need to take a day 8 test test if they have received a negative result from their day 2 test and have not developed symptoms.
If your day 8 test is not taken you must quarantine for 14 days.
If your day 8 test is positive you must quarantine for a further 10 days from your day 8 test date.

Yes! We know guidelines and legislation are constantly changing and it can be difficult to keep up. The Test to Release scheme involves a PCR test taken on day 5 after your arrival with the purpose of releasing you early from your quarantine. The Test to Release scheme is optional whereas the Travel Test Package is mandatory. More information on the Test to Release scheme can be found on our relevant page regarding it.
Please note even if you test negative through the Test to Release scheme and finish your quarantine early, you still need to take your day 8 test.
If either test—day 2 or 8—are positive, you must quarantine for an additional 10 days. More info will be provided with your test results. The purpose of the day 2 and 8 tests is to detect any travellers with a variant of coronavirus. A positive test result is therefore further analysed at our laboratory with genome sequencing to look for this – there will be no additional cost if this needs to be done.
Some tests may show that a person has a “variant” of the coronavirus. This will result in contact tracing and Public Health England involvement.
There is more information regarding this available on the government website.
If you are using the postal kit option, we send the kits out to reach you by day 2 latest. It usually takes one day for the samples to reach us in the lab and then upto 24 hours for our laboratory to process the result.

Arrival to UK June 1st - this is considered day 0.
June 2nd to 3rd - kit arrives (day 1-2)
June 3rd (day 2) - undertake day 2 sample and return to us.
June 4th (day 3) - kit reaches lab, may get test result same day

June 9th (day 8) - undertake day 8 sample and return to us
