I just checked and wait time still 181 minutes. There is a warning posted about wait times exceeding 2 hours. 3 weeks ago I only had to wait seconds.
Has anyone taken the test in the last few days in the morning EU time? A few days ago someone here reported it was possible to get through in 2 minutes during “EU off-hours”. So I’m guessing anytime after breakfast until maybe midnight e.g. UK time wait times are long right now?
Any idea what has changed in just a matter of days with eMed? Staff turnover, word of mouth catching up in the U.S. so more travelers are taking the test with them, more EU countries opening up to travel? Is covid situation in the Philippines making it hard or impossible for the eMed call center staff to go in?
I don’t think the increasing U.S. covid numbers would impact this, since for non-travel there are much more affordable testing options available.
