Reduce your quarantine period when entering the UK from a country not on the travel corridor with our UK GOV authorized COVID-19 test to release.
Under the Test to Release for International Travel scheme, people travelling to England who need to self-isolate will be able to take a COVID test with a private test provider to check if they can end their quarantine period early. This is a throat and nasal swab test and is processed in a UKAS accredited laboratory to approved standards.
