Question:
To ask the Minister of Health which travellers are unable to use the £43 Randox PCR COVID-19 tests after arriving in Northern Ireland; and to outline the rationale for this decision.

Answer:

From 5 May 2021, international arrivals to Northern Ireland have been required to book their travel test packages from a list of private test providers available via the gov.uk website.

However, from 18 March 2022, COVID-19 pre departure and post arrival travel testing for international arrivals into Northern Ireland is no longer required.
