Click-and-Collect Covid Lateral Flow Test For Fully Vaccinated UK Visitors

For fully-vaccinated international visitors arriving in the UK, a click-and-collect Covid lateral flow test has been established.

International travelers don’t have to rely on their arrivals test being delivered to a hotel or temporary address with the £19.99 Cignpost ExpressTest option.

Pre-ordered tests can be picked up at Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham, and Edinburgh airports.

When a customer submits an image of their test and their passport number to the ExpressTest app, the company says that the results are validated in 25 minutes and authenticated.

During operating hours, which have been extended from 8 a.m. to 11.59 p.m. each day, the photograph is verified by a dedicated member of staff, and formal evidence of status is delivered within 60 minutes.

Christian Corney, CEO of Cignpost ExpressTest, said: “Since the government has made lateral flow tests mandatory for everyone arriving into the UK, we have looked at how we can make the testing process easy at every level.

“There’s a £1,000 fine for anyone who misses the two-day deadline to complete their test, so launching a click and collect option gives international travelers the reassurance that they’ve met their Covid testing requirement, rather than worrying about whether their tests have arrived at the hotel or guesthouse they are staying in.”
