Online retail giant Amazon is to start selling PCR travel tests for as little as £34.99.

Travellers will no longer be required to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test to enter

The government-approved tests, which will be valid for the UK’s day-two, day-eight and test to release arrivals programmes, will also be offered in discount bundles.

The retailer’s new service launched and was added to the UK government’s approved list of testing providers on Monday (13 December).

The at-home tests will be processed at Amazon’s lab in Salford, which was set up last year to process tests for employees.

Customers will receive the results of their tests within 24 hours of their sample arriving at the laboratory.

Earlier this month, Amazon started selling domestic testing kits in the UK, which were not suitable for travellers.
