Covid and travel discussion

Is it still on or before day 2? Got family flying in at the weekend just wondering if we can pay for a 3 hour turnaround test at the airport when they land

Yes you can. There's an excellent article in The Independent that explains things very clearly with no ambiguity. One of the points being yours about when you can take the test on arrival:

I thought I had to take the test on day two:

That is a widely held but mistaken view. You can take the test any time from immediately after arrival in the UK to the end of the second full day after arrival.

There will be a strong incentive to have the test at the airport. While PCR tests take much longer to analyse than the lateral flow variety, some airport testing centres can process the results in less than three hours, allowing travellers to leave self-isolation soon after arrival in the UK.

How the return of pre-departure tests, PCRs and self-isolation for travel works

Travellers to the UK must take a pre-departure test and, when they arrive, self-isolate until their post-arrival PCR delivers a negative result

Sturgeon saying she wants new arrivals into the UK to quarantine for 8 days, and take a day 2 and day 8 PCR test, and she wants all 4 nations to adopt this stance. This is after Johnson announced a more lenient approach on Saturday night for England with a PCR test to be taken before the end of day 2, and self isolate until the results are known.

Look Nicola - I get what you're saying but trying to foist that on England when a different strategy has already been announced a couple of days earlier is just going to screw people's plans up further as they've probably already made arrangements to cater for whatever Johnson announced on Saturday.
