Weather issues, how early can I take at home COVID test?

[Eddie Wilson]

Last week it was the Northeast, this week the Middle of the country.  

 

Scheduled to board on Saturday Feb 5.  Can we take the at home Binax Now covid test after midnight, so lets say 12:30 AM on February 3?

 

Trying to get out of town BEFORE the ice hits, but we may not make it.

Yes, Thursday would be the earliest you can test for a cruise leaving Saturday. 

Good luck with your travels.     Hope you have an awesome cruise🤩

So by your answer I assume they use your testing location, such as Eastern Standard time.  And not the time where ever the Procter is

 

dont mean to be anal, but scrambling here.

I was fine Eastern Time zone taking the test at 12:01AM.  I did read somewhere that they use UTC but if you’re in the US, it doesn’t matter because they are ahead.  For example if it’s 6PM Eastern, it’s 11PM UTC.

Can you do the test at 11.01PM Central??

A bit confused on the time of day. We can take the test no earlier than March 18th and we're in PST. So what is the earliest time of day/date we can take the test ... what time zone will be used?

Actually on March 18th it will be PDT, if that matters.

Anything that shows a date of two days before sailing- time (or time zone) doesn’t matter.

So I have to wait until just after midnight PDT on March 18th right ??? Sailing on March 20th.

Correct.

5 out of every 4 people have trouble with fractions.

 

I am not too fast at math. 

I am not too slow at math.

I am half-fast at math.
