Trip To Belfast

[campbellking]

Hi.am taking a short trip to Belfast next week and have read the Covid test information again and again which states you should take a lateral flow test prior to departure. Do I need to show any proof of a negative test ( I have lateral flow tests at home through work) or not?

Good morning, Campbellking (and Robbie):

Given that the NI Executive's website provides a link for obtaining home testing lateral flow kits, it appears that (unlike people travelling to England from, say, Italy) it's not necessary to get tested at a pharmacy (in order to to obtain a certificate to prove that you've tested negative). Simply carrying out a test at home should suffice:

(If you're reporting your lateral flow tests online, you'll have both a text message and an email on your phone to acknowledge your result in the unlikely chance of anyone asking for confirmation that you've submitted a negative result).
