Now that a covid test is required within 24 hours of international travel back to the US, heard some antigen tests can be purchased at home, packed, and used to meet the requirement. Is this true?

I bslieve so. Also check the country you are going. Where I am, an antigen test costs $5, and has a 15 minute turnaround for results

Wait you’re going to Thailand?

Yes - this is true. The order requires that the test is verified by a Telehealth representative - I believe there are a couple tests out there that do this for about $35-45 per test

Do you know if France would take these?

A1, yes, France will accept antigen and PCR tests. Make sure to buy the version of this test from eMed or Optum as the administration is observed by a provider and you get official results (vs. going to Walgreens and buying the take home test kit)

There's a whole separate set of rules for folks that are just connecting so you might want to dig into those

So does this mean that the new rule expects everyone to have a home testing kit and show those results? Or does rapid testing also do the work?

Rapid testing works

I just traveled to France and we just stopped by a pharmacy the last day and it took like 30 minutes to do the test/get the signed results. You’ll still have to pay for a signed result so just do it there.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue.

After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
