P&O Covid Testing Company

[np74]

Does anyone know the name of the company that P&O use at Southampton for the rapid PCR tests? I had a positive one on 5 August and it’s still not been logged with NHS Test and Trace……

Are they doing PCR tests at the terminal? I was under the impression that they were lateral flow tests (and that you needed to have completed the full vaccine course at least a week beforehand), If its Lateral Flow shouldn't you know within fifteen minutes and be able to update the app yourself?

 

Forgive me if I'm wrong, it all changes so fast.

I had a positive LFT at the drive-through testing centre so was called in for a rapid PCR at the terminal (which took an hour to come through).

It was a lateral flow test. By the time we got back to the main terminal, the text came through. Pretty much bang on 30mins. I think the traffic jam to get out of gate 20 was all part of their cunning plan

I also had a positive PCR test at the terminal on the 15th July.

Don't think it was ever reported to the NHS as I never had any follow from them or track and trace etc.

So guess you weren't able to board ship .Did they give you fcc ?
