Why you need two COVID-19 tests:
A common question we are asked is ‘Why do I have to take a test on day 2 if I have to continue isolating despite a negative result, and then also have to take another test on day 8?’. The answer is because the test you take on day 2 is to determine not only if you are positive for COVID-19, but more importantly if you have contracted a variant or suspected variant of COVID-19 which UK vaccinations are less effective against. Due to the additional processes involved in detecting variants the turnaround time for day 2 testing results is up to 72 hours.
A further test is required on day 8 to re-confirm the negative result (in most cases) which is obtained following the day 2 test.
These tests are required for all international arrivals from non red zones.
