Different Lateral Flow Tests
Hello folks I ordered a pack of Rapid Lateral Flow tests, forgetting that I already had a box in the house. The new pack arrived, and it is of a different type: the box is green and it is an 'Orient Gene' test. The old box was blue, did not mention the words Orient Gene, and was made in a different lab. The new Orient Gene…

Pre-departure tests from Germany back into UK

My confusion is with the tests to come back into the UK. I know I have to do a Day 2 test once I have returned to the UK, but do I have to do a pre-departure test before I…
