Hi does anyone know if there will be somewhere in San Stef where you can get the relevant covid test for returning to the UK or will it involve a trip to Corfu Town

I'm sure San Stef Travel are giving a service for testing.

I'm not sure about this. It may have to be a registered pharmacy or test centre. Maybe Lesley can advise.

I have just read in Keep Talking Greece that the price of a PCR test is set at 40 euros and a rapid test is 10 euros. Nuala  has said that she is arranging for a clinic in Corfu town to collect samples .

Arriving back from an amber list country ,you have to test on day 2 and day 8, of your isolation. These tests have to be booked, before you return home as you may have to put the confirmation reference number on your PLF, which you submit before your return home..Kuoni website..

I was weighing up the costs of tests etc for a trip over in September but forgot to factor in the isolation period. I would imagine that I may be called back into the office by then so working from home, whilst in isolation, may not be feasible.

Whilst things may change by September ,David, the cost can soon add up can't it..
