Randox Health Lateral Flow Testing Solutions

Lateral flow testing means passengers can complete same day testing at the airport or from the comfort of their own home

Randox offer ‘fit to fly’ pre-departure and day 2 lateral flow testing solutions

Following the UK government announcement, lateral flow testing (antigen tests) will be the Day 2 requirement for any fully vaccinated passengers arriving into England from 24^th October.  This change applies only to fully vaccinated international travellers and most under 18s arriving into England from non-red list countries and will replace the previous PCR testing requirement.

 

This change will come into effect for anyone returning into England, following the half-term break and tests can be completed on or before day two of their arrival.

RANDOX LATERAL FLOW (ANTIGEN) TESTS

 

As the cheapest provider in the market, Randox have multiple lateral flow testing solutions, including the new Randox CertiFly rapid antigen test, which will allow you to complete your Day 2 test in the comfort of your own home from only £20.

 

The Randox CertiFly antigen test is designed to simplify foreign travel for passengers and minimise the risk of testing fraud through an easy to use mobile app.  Available for free through the App Store and coming soon on Google Play, the app will securely identify customers and process testing results within 3 hours.

BACKGROUND TO GOVERNMENT CHANGES

 

Eligible fully vaccinated arrivals and those with an approved vaccine from non-red countries will be able to replace the test taken as soon as possible on arrival, referred to as the Day 2 PCR test, with a self-administered lateral flow device (“LFD”). Arrivals must have had a complete course of a recognised vaccine at least 14 days before arriving in England. They will not be required to take a Pre-Departure Test or a Day 8 test.

Passengers who do not meet the “eligible traveller” criteria will still have to take a pre-departure test, a Day 2 and Day 8 PCR test and self-isolate for 10 days upon their return from a non-red list country. Test to Release will remain an option for unvaccinated passengers who wish to shorten their isolation period.

How will the new lateral flow system work?

 

Passengers will be required to take a photograph of their completed lateral flow test alongside their booking reference number which Randox will provide via email on receipt of order.   Randox will then verify the result of your sample.  Passengers will still be required to complete a passenger locator form to return to England.

 

Anyone who tests positive will be required to self-isolate and take a confirmatory PCR test.  The government have confirmed that anyone who has previously purchased a Randox PCR test will not need to buy another lateral flow (antigen) test.
