Helpful information on Test and Release

How does Test-to-Release work?

Please refer to the Gov.uk website for updated and most accurate rules on quarantining once you have entered the UK.

If negative, you are to end self-isolation. If the result is positive you must remain in isolation for another 10 days (this count starts the day you took the test). People you are living with or staying with should also self-isolate for the extra 10 days regardless of their results.

Test Booking Timings- when to book your test

You must only book your test for five full days from the moment you arrive back in the UK. For instance if you arrive at 2:30pm, you cannot book an appointment before 2:30 on the fifth day. If you book an appointment for the wrong time, the UK government systems will deny your Test-to-Release test results.

If you meet this criteria, book your test-to-release appointment with us. It is the sole responsibility of the traveller to confirm that they are eligible for Test-To-Release.

Eligibility for Test and Release

24 hours before the end of your trip, you should check whether the country you are returning from requires a 10 day quarantine. This list changes frequently and without notice.
