This first test is designed to help identify any potentially harmful variants of COVID-19 at the earliest opportunity. Tests will be taken in your own accommodation. If you get a positive result from your day 2 test, you must quarantine for 10 days beginning the day after the test was taken (this means until day 13). Your household will also need to quarantine until day 13. If you get a positive result from your day 2 test, you do not need to take a test on day 8. Day 8 Test: You need to take a COVID-19 test on or after day 8 unless you got a positive result from your day 2 test. If you get a positive test result from your day 8 test you will need to quarantine until day 19. Your household will also need to quarantine until day 19. |
