Good news... really bloody good news. The inbound LFT is a faff and caused me a lot of stress when I was supposed to be chilling out on vacation.
I am also grateful the day 2 PCR test and self isolation is going away in favour of a LFT. One question though - is the passenger locator form going away too? |

This is what I see on the GOV.uk website and NHS website almost every day when I bother checking.
I tried generating a 'collection code' and went to the Sainsbury's Pharmacy (and Boots) with that. The assistants there sighed and said that the system generates a code regardless of whether they have any availability or not and that they've been without LFTs for the past week or so. I guess, much like the fuel shortages, or the shop shortages, London is getting the short end of the stick again. |
Feels like trying to get the tickets for Glasto!

My most recent pack ordered on Christmas Eve arrived on Tuesday without a word from royal mail.

No, not yet. That could be something for the next review. There's no profit in it, so anything is possible.

Hopefully. Without the requirement for a day 2 PCR, I don't see what the value is.

i also suspect the PLF will still require an order reference for a return LFT, like you need for the day 2 PCR...that would be the only way they can control people not relying on and sucking up NHS provided kits...while maintaining a cash stream to the govt donors too of course.

Hopefully the previously purchased day 2 rapid tests with their codes will remain valid for those of us that have some on the shelf.

Question, I'm a fully vaccinated US citizen arriving in Bristol on Sunday January 9th (after 4am). Can I get the antigen test at the airport on arrival in Bristol? Thanks!

Expresstest is not giving refunds for pre-booked Day 2 PCRs. Only vouchers.
