All international arrivals to England who do not qualify as fully vaccinated under the fully vaccinated rules must quarantine for 10 days and are required to take a PCR test on day 2 and day 8 of their quarantine period.
This Day 5 test allows you to shorten your quarantine period (if the result is negative) by taking a PCR test on day 5 after your arrival in England.
This Covid-19 ‘Test to Release’ product gives you the option to have a kit posted to your place of quarantine, or for quicker results, you can complete your Day 5 test at one of our stores conveniently located across London and the UK.
If you live within the M25, we can also arrange a certified phlebotomist to take your day 5 swab from your home or office. Or for convenience we can arrange a courier to drop off your test kit at your home and you can post it back after conducting the test.
The PCR swab test itself is 100% sensitive in detecting the presence of the RNA of coronavirus and will pick up the presence of COVID-19 in your nose.
To qualify for the Test to Release scheme, simply follow the steps below:
-> Order this test before you are due to leave the UK and book your in-store appointment for the 5th day after your return to England. If you decide to take part in the scheme after you have arrived in England, you will need to complete another UK government passenger locator form.
-> During checkout you will have a choice of free shipping, home visit phlebotomy, courier delivery or an in-store booking. If you choose in-store testing, you will need to book your day 5 appointment on the system when you book.
-> On the purchase confirmation page, follow the link to register your test with us and complete your registration. You will also receive a purchase confirmation email with the link to register your test.
-> You will then be given a unique code to reference (e.g. LMLAB1234567) when you fill out your UK government passenger locator form before you arrive in the UK.
-> It is vital you register your test before entering the UK as the information is required for UK quarantine release and your appointment. Also if you do not register your test we are unable to process your test in the laboratory.Â
-> If you do not receive your confirmation email after this booking, please check your spam or junk email before contacting us.
-> Your test result will then be sent to you via email as soon as it is available (next day*) and if coronavirus is not detected, you can end your quarantine.
Please remember to register your test before entering the UK to obtain your LMLAB code.
