Australia- covid recovery certificate - recommended companies?
Hi, so only people who’ve had to do this will know what another minefield it is if you get covid within 30 days of travelling. Our GP service won’t deal, but there are companies out there who do.

I asked ATG to rearrange the tickets for the following week and they did so without any queries or quibbles.

The kits are also not registered - other than submitting delivery information the company holds no details that they could have used so far to allocate the tests to an individual and thus…
