COVID-19 Test to Release (Arrivals)

Service Description

At First Medical Consultants we offer the new Test to Release government scheme (available from 15th December 2020), which allows you to stop self-isolating on arrival in the UK after just 5 days if you get a negative COVID-19 test result. Through our SLA we are a Government approved testing centre for the Covid test to release programme. All tests are processed in our laboratory, accredited by UKAS and ISO 15189, which guarantees accurate results you can trust.

Under the Test to Release scheme you can choose to pay for a private COVID-19 test. If the result is negative, you can end your quarantine. You cannot take a test until you have been in England for 5 full days. The scheme is voluntary and applies to those quarantining in England only. If you do not want to opt into the Test to Release scheme, you will need to quarantine for 10 days.
