Private Covid 19 test travel certification.

[papasmurf]

You don't get a certificate regardless of where you have the test. You get a plain email like the one below.

That is still certification.

You are missing something, those are not for travelling abroad. The NHS does not provide travel Covid 19 travel certification, it is privatised.

There may be something I'm not understanding, but there are free walk in Covid tests here:

Not used it so don't know if users are issued a certificate showing their status...

They are checking to see if vehicle drivers and passengers have paperwork to prove they have been tested for coronavirus.
Those who have not are being turned away.

Theres no problem pappy , its all running smoothly.

All quiet on cross-Channel front as new era opens in Dover

As dawn broke Friday over Dover, Britain's trading gateway to the European Union, the first ferry sailings to and from France of a new post-Brexit era left without delay or drama in holiday-thinned traffic.

A small but steady stream of lorries arrived through the morning at the port in southeast England -- Europe's busiest for roll-on, roll-off freight -- with new customs processes appearing to work smoothly.

so what are you moaning about now pappy?

I flew through Amsterdam, Milan and CDG in November, was not asked for my test results once. BTW, you don't get a certificate, you get an email with the result.

That's as maybe. However no certificate you won't bet let on plane or ferry. Whether  a vaccination certificate will work, (when they are available ,) remains to be seen.

That's the standard price, you can get them at Boots. It has to be a PCR test.

That is the Boots price, bloody scandalous.

Well mine does but it was issued by the Welsh NHS....

Ohh so it turned up then.......

Travel certification is a complete waste of time . All it does is confirm you didnt have covid when you took it not that you dont have it when you have the piece of paper in your hand .
Travel wont be safe or recommended until  we have the jab , whenever that is .

Except for people who have the positive test letter. That states categorically you cannot catch or spread this pox after the date stated on the letter ... Well mine does but it was issued by the Welsh NHS....

dont simplify things for him nick , you are pissing on pappys doom and gloom fireworks!

Get with the end of the world rhetoric !

Just checked what the current Covid 19 free test travel certification is going to cost near me.
£120 each.

Full list of test and certification providers. (no prices shown.)

as i understand it , a covid  vaccine certificate may only be required short term in the initial months of this year when travelling. The news coming from the various authorites is as ever confusing and contradictory.

As time goes by and more and more get vaccinated across europe , and we build herd immunity , they wont be needed and become obsolete.

so isnt that good news pappy.?

Another cheery thought for a cheery day! smile!

i know mate, but pappy isnt really interested in logical arguments , he just wants a platform to moan from and scream tory bad , brexit bad.

politicians need to STFU in my opinion and get on with the job in hand of getting this jab into as many people as possible in the shortest time possible.
