I came out to Poland in the summer, paid £36 for a day two test with Expert Medicals which was there on my arrival. Did the test and sent it off. Nothing.
After a week I phoned them and they sent another test out which eventually came back negative.
I have do do two lateral flow tests a week for my work and have done throughout the pandemic.
I am out in Poland again and I can't use the old code, (presumably,) as Expert Medicals have been removed from the list of approved crooks.
So I have purchased a 'click and collect' service for £10 for a date two weeks after I return and will not even bother going from London to Peterborough to do it. I have the code I need and that will placate the Government's Locator Form. Meanwhile I will continue to do the twice a week LFTs.
