Anyone used these to return to the uk? They are £25 each and you do them on the bank and upload your results to get a certificate? Hearing a few people doing them instead of going to the French pharmacies.

They seem to be working with C19 and Randox may be they have brought in bulk as their test to enter UK seems to be slightly cheaper then c19

It does, and it seems a lot easier than going to a French chemists to get tested, just do it on the bank!

They look a great idea. Just ordered one as I go next week. Saves me losing half a day going to a French pharmacy.

I'd also be interested if anyone has successfully travelled back using this test.

You do the antigen test (same as NHS) and photo the result with your ID and email it to them. Assuming it's negative they email you a certificate signed by a Dr and off you go home with your locator form and negative test result.

Mine were £22.50 as I signed up to the coop membership scheme and got 10% discount.

Unfortunately I caught the monkey 🙊 snot virus ☢ last Tuesday (one week ago) I'm now having to quarantine which ends this Friday at midnight but on the French 🇫🇷 declaration form they ask for 14 days clear.

Also as I'm tested positive my nhs covid passport has been deleted.

So I'm not going now (gutted)

A real choker indeed.
Plus my wife this morning has just received the text from nhs, she's positive.(but when we have an argument she's always positively right and normally is 😂

(I'm honoured to have had a mention from you) your a leg end from the days back in the 80s when we spoke in passing somewhere in the mists of time.

Cheers Mike

C19 testing website and buy an antigen test for £29
Take it with you , do the test and send photo with your ID to the company and you get a negative certificate back . ( if your negative )

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but has anyone used one of these bankside tests yet in France and can confirm their legitimacy?

This one seems to be the most popular. My friends used it recently as well and were happy with the response back.
