What Is The Cheapest Day 2 COVID Test?

Everyone entering the UK needs to take at least one test after they arrive (you can view the latest requirements on the Government website.) With the recent change back to the cheaper lateral flow tests over PCRs, we thought we’d take a look at what is the cheapest day 2 covid test on the market at the moment…

So What Is The Cheapest Day 2 COVID Test?

Below are the 3 cheapest day 2 COVID tests we could find online…

1. Klarity will sell you a certificate for your own test for £9.95. Whilst they don’t provide the test itself you may have some lying around that you can use. Simply upload the result for verification and your certificate is issued within 60 min (08:00-20:00.) You aren’t meant to use NHS LFTs with this service but we’ve heard plenty of reports of people doing so. Comes with the required code for your passenger locator form. More details here – https://klarity.health/product/basic-antigen-covid-certificate/
   
2. If you don’t have any spare lateral flows lying around Simply Test Me will post one out first class to your house for just £12. Simply ensure you order intime for your arrival back to the UK (same day dispatch for orders before midday.) Upon your return take the test and upload a picture with your passenger locator form number. Typically the result will be verified within 24 hours.

3. Medical Diagnosis will post a lateral flow kit out to you for £14. Again ensure you order intime for your arrival back to the UK (same day dispatch for orders before midday.)

Conclusion

As lateral flow tests aren’t required to be processed in a lab it’s silly paying over the odds for what is a very cheap test, a passenger locator form number, and the ability to upload your test result.
