Test to Release Explained
What is Test to Release?
Travellers returning from countries that are not a part of the UK’s approved travel corridor (see list of approved countries by scrolling down) are required to self-isolate for a full 14 days or risk getting fined.
If you would like to leave isolation early (after 5 days) you need to take a COVID-19 test from an approved lab in the UK.
If you are NEGATIVE you will be issued with a certificate that allows you to leave your self isolation early. This is beneficial if you do not want to self isolate for two weeks, have commitments to work or need to take part in activities outside your house.
This Goverment scheme is aimed at helping people function normally after travelling abroad by shortening their isolation times.
