Coronavirus: Screening
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will investigate reports that only Randox covid-19 PCR were accepted for those re-entering the UK during November 2021.
- Answer
-
We have no plans to do so. In November 2021, lateral flow device (LFD) tests were accepted for arrivals from all non-‘red list’ countries, with approximately 50 LFD test providers available via GOV.UK.
From 27 November 2021, we announced all arrivals from non-red list countries were required to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test up to day two after arrival and self-isolate until a negative test result is confirmed. As of this date, there were more than 400 PCR test providers available, including Randox, supplying tests accepted on arrival in the United Kingdom.
