Hello, I traveled to the UK yesterday from Netherlands and received the following text from +447305470566:
NHS: Track and Trace has identified you have been in close contact with somone with Omicron, please order a test kit here: omicron.my.status-13.com
The URL makes me suspect it's a scam website.

Scam definitely, it would point you to nhs.uk or gov.uk, not some wierd domain (plus, omicron being part of the url is another sign)
That said, is your mobile number +31? I'm curious how your number was got by UK fraudsters if so. These texts are common to UK mobiles (as are the fake HMRC phone calls).Peter
