We are scheduled to transit LHR (CAI-LHR-ORD) and looking at taking the BinaxNow test with us for our return testing. I know it will work for US reentry but not sure if it will meet the need of UK for a covid test for transit. It is an antigen test. It meets specificity rules for UK but a little fuzzy on whether it meets the need for sensitivity (one place it looks like it does, another place it may be low)
TIA
Yes: do a search for Binax on here and you’ll find my account of our expedience using it to enter the UK on an overnight transit. It worked perfectly well; note, however, that we presented the eMed pdf, not the app, to the border people at LHR. The pdf lab report shows all the necessary information and the officer accepted it with the merest glance.
