The antigen tests accepted then are elaborated on further, and one of the requirements is that the third party administering the test checks the ID of the person taking the test. This is done by eMed via video who we purchased the Abbott BinaxNow Home Test from. Lufthansa guidance on tests also says that the test must be certified by a doctor or a recognised laboratory - again the eMed issued test checks a box here. It does not say that telehealth option is not allowed.
That’s why I’m wondering if anyone from the U.S. has presented this test result from eMed to German authorities, and has either had success or ran into a problem when in transit through Frankfurt or Munich?
Do you get a piece of paper/digital with the lab signature, result and test accuracy?
