Looking to book an overseas trip in the near future, but don’t want to be burdened with having to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival back in the UK? There’s good news for you in the form of rapid COVID-19 tests…
Transport secretary Grant Shapps is expected to announce a new policy that will take effect in the first half of December which will mean travellers will have to self-isolate for only five days if they return a negative result with a single rapid test.
As it stands, travellers from a majority of countries have self-isolate at home for 14 days, irrespective of whether or not they are showing symptoms. The move will come as a boost to the travel industry, which has been decimated in 2020 as a result of significantly reduced international travel.
With a Healgen COVID-19 antigen self-test kit, you can discover the result of your Coronavirus test in 15 minutes, as opposed to NHS COVID tests which can take a minimum of 24-48 hours to get a result and can require you to travel significant distances for a test.
As one of only three tests approved by the UK government, Healgen COVID-19 antigen tests have been used as part of Liverpool’s mass testing trial, in which more than 12,000 tests are carried out each day.
Rapid COVID-19 tests are a great way to compliment your business’ existing COVID-19 safety measures, minimising the risk of viral infection and giving staff, customers and suppliers peace of mind that you have a COVID-safe environment.
