Frequent travel & day 2 tests

framar

I’m travelling to Portugal, Croatia & Italy over the next few weeks. I return to the UK between each trip.

I’ve just about got my head around the testing but I’m seeking reassurance that:

As long as I’ve done my day 2 test on arrival then it doesn’t matter if the results are back or not before I travel again? ( I’ll have also done an pre dep antigen for my next trip!) 

When I return from Croatia some companies are saying I can’t buy the green country day 2 test if I’ve been in an amber country in the past 10 days. I pressure then I book an amber one again? 

Any help is much appreciated!  The lack of clarity is really challenging me!!

Are you fully vaccinated as different rules apply depending on if you are or not ? 

There is no difference in the Day 2 test for Green or Amber countries- the only difference in what is required if you’ve been in an Amber country in the previous 10 days is that if you are not vaccinated you need to quarantine for 10 days and take a Day 2 & 8 test.

Thanks- yes I’m fully vaccinated !

As you are fully vaccinated then no need to wait for results etc however evidently if you are overseas when you get a positive result from your day 2 test you will need to follow local rules on those that test positive.

Then you just need a Day 2 test for each time you arrive back in the UK ( which is the same for Amber or Green )
