Covid Test Query

[malagabob]

Wales.gov has only 1 test lab to choose from for travellers returning from a amber country. England you have a choice.
If I return from an amber country into an English airport, but my ultimate destination is Wales. What labs can I use. Am I to use the lab Wales.gov state you must use. Or some of the cheaper ones available to English travellers. Thanks.

"Getting a test in a country you transit through

It is your responsibility to make sure you have a valid test result to show when you board. ***You should not rely on being able to get a test in a country that you will transit through as part of your journey to Wales. It is possible that local or entry restrictions will mean you are not able to get a test.*** [my emphasis]

If you don’t have a test result because you were unable to get one in a country you transited through, and you are not permitted to enter the transit country, you will be allowed to board your transport to Wales. But you could be fined £500 on arrival in Wales for not having a valid test result."

By stating, "You should not rely etc." that must mean having a test elsewhere, such as in England, prior to entering Wales, must be an option.
