It is well known that the US allows antigen tests to return… the Emirates website says you need a PCR - it used to say antigen and there is another blurb that says if you are going from Athens to USA that antigen is fine - I’m sure this is a mistake and matters a lot because we use the eMed take home antigen tests - any ideas on if these will be allowed - we leave tonight!!Last updated: January 1, 2022, 00:01 (GMT +4)
