What type of covid test do I need to take on returning to BE from UK?
I'm vaccinated and Belgian citizen. I'm travelling to London for one day.
I can take an antigen test to enter the UK. I'm only there for one day so won't take a test in the UK (despite having to book and pay for a PCR test - grrr).
I'm confused on which type of test I need to take when I return to Belgium. On this page https://www.info-coronavirus.be/en/travels/ it just says
"Are you travelling from a red zone outside the European Union?
Do you have a vaccination? Get tested on day 1 or 2 after you return from your trip. Did you test negative? Then you can end quarantine as soon as you get your test result. "
But it doesn't specific which test I need to take antigen or PCR.
If the website isn't clear, then go to pretty much any pharmacy and ask.
They'll know what to do.
You don’t need to take a test if you are fully vaccinated. You are required to complete a PLF - passenger locator form before you return
If you are fully vaccinated and not staying overnight, you don't need to take a test when you return. If you stay longer then you need to do a PCR test once you return.
