Covid test required to enter UK

The pre departure test going out has nothing to do with the pre departure test return as you could have contracted it whilst away.
Hi pandas

Understood , and we are happy to test as needed , pre departure from UK , pre departure France, day 2 UK PCR. etc.

A risk for us with PCR tests is we have all had COVID recently as well but are fully vaccined up , with third doses next weekend.

You need a gap of 28 days after testing positive for Covid or the start of your symptoms before you can have your Booster. Just thought I’d mention it . I wouldn’t want you to have a wasted journey.
 
take a test and it's positive do I have to quarantine for 10
Yes
and does that count towards my 90 days
I've no idea but would hope so,
but it would help if the rules were written in such a way as to leave no ambiguity
I think they are written that way to actally allow them to iterpret them how they want.
You would require a positive - recovered certificate which can issued by a Doctor on reviewing your positive test result 10 days previous.
But they state that only a negative test is acceptable?
If this is now the condition this process is the same as it was earlier in the year, the pre departure test which I think changed only early September when flying anyhow. Presumably this is the capture those with potential virus mixing at departure terminals and in transit - ferries, planes etc.
before they were not stating that if you have had covid recently then you should not have another PCR test within 90 days because of the possibility of a false positive.

as above they are stating you should not have tests within 90 days of having covid.

I just clear 29 and my wife is 36 I think.

Our daughter aged 13 is a bigger issue she was booked to have her vaccine at school , caught and was off with COVID , we booked at a centre and took her the day rules chnaged and she can’t have it until January ….

My wife kindly gave it to me several weeks later , after she got it from her class at school ….
 
We are due to travel back via Santander on the 15th of December, can anyone recommend a test provider in Santander or nearby?
 
Here's an idea... why don't you all stay in the UK and avoid all the stress you're putting yourselves under.
Yes that's what the government wants except for themselves of course because where ever they want to go they will say its essential business two tier society is here folks

That’s OK then. I wouldn’t want you to be turned away. I do the clinics and it does occasionally happen.
 
The game changer for us is the potential to catch Covid whilst in France and unable to return. On checking this senirio out in the summer, there was literally nothing of any practical use on either the French or UK government websites. You are on your own after completing your holiday with basically just an aire for parking up. The French Tous Anti Covid, if updated with your positive result would stop you in your tracks. I can't help feeling that the UK government have not considered this fall out. Agreed the border force, ferry operator staff etc, need to be protected. Frustratingly the cancellation of our up coming ski holiday is looking very real. Next review on the 20th.

Concur, nearly all ‘travel’ arrangements are geared up toward the airline industry where the vast majority are subject to the controls. ‘Our’ form of travel has become an unforeseen circumstance of this catch all approach. I’m glad you’ve raised the French app as I hadn’t thought of that as being a problem. Another issue is if you’re travelling with another person then there could be a problem with the timing of one of your party getting it later than the first.

I agree that it's all geared towards air travel understandably as it probably normally accounts for the majority of travellers. But what happens to air travellers who test positive presumably they go into government approved quarantine facilities unless ill enough to need hospital so presumably thats the same if you're in a motorhome.

Back in the summer, every pavement cafe through to each campsite requested the app before entering into any conversation. The negetive result (obtained in the pharmacy) was updated onto the app so a negetive result would have seriously restricted your movement, and as you say if more than one person catches it the problems are just further compounded.

UK Gov website contains the usual 'that's why you should have travel insurance' warning. Your policy should cover you against delayed return to UK if one or both of you catches COVID, including any repatriation costs. What doesn't appear to referred to explicitly is the consequences of any overstay because of COVID infections, even if it is a mild dose contracted, say 7 days before you reach your 90 days stay limit

I don't think they're likely to worry about that they must have thought about it in relation to people who have say an RTA or heart attack on the last day and it must happen occasionally with people on visas from other countries.

Concur, if you are forced to isolate in Spain for example can you imagine then trying to explain that to the border control at Calais if you’re over your 90 days.

I don't think there would be a problem if you were required to stay in government approved isolation. It could be different if you decided after testing positive to head for the hills. It really does need looking at. If you do get a positive result it's a bit late to start looking at campsites that allow covid positive and stocking up on supplies/ gas etc not to mention what happens to pets.
 
Does anyone know if there is any requirement for any test when crossing back into France from Spain on our way home?

In our case the Somport Tunnel next weekend.

Good question, because if you are it’s France that has asked the question, not Spain. If you are positive wouldn’t fancy being isolated on a site, if they are open, in Northern Spain at this time of year!

Frankly I don’t there is a requirement as it’s the UK that’s on the French amber list and not UK citizens

Its a test that you have to do before you get on a plane, train, boat or whatever. You had to do a test in September to get onto the EuroTunnel and upload it into the passenger locator form. So what's different now? It's not a political conspiracy. Either do it or stay put, quite a simple choice really.

No it's a conspiracy between the Chinese Trump Boris and nearly all world leaders as they're all desperate to lose the next election so they can control where motorhomers go on holiday!.Bill Gates joined in so he could track me when I go shopping. You know it makes sense.
