Hi all,
I am confused about when I can take a lateral flow test before traveling to the UK from Greece. I am due to fly home at 12.10 on Monday. There is a place I can get my laterall flow test done in the village I am in at the moment, so I am hoping to get that done at 11 tomorrow before I am picked up. I've not found a place at my next destination that does the tests. If I get it done tomorrow it will be 73 / 74 ish hours before my flight. Would that be ok? The official government website says "any time" but other sites state 72 hours...help 🇬🇷🥺

When to take your test
You can take the test any time in the 3 days before the service on which you will arrive in England departs.
For example, if you travel directly to England on Friday, you could take a test any time on the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. The test result must be available for boarding
Thanks
