Easy, reliable, high-quality and cost-effective testing for
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), in compliance with local regulatory
requirements, is crucial to enabling millions of passengers to
complete their journeys in comfort and safety. Eurofins has rapidly
developed a network of 67 sampling stations across the UK, expected
to grow to 100 stations throughout July, combined with a nationwide
at-home PCR test kit offering and 103 drop box stations across the
UK for sample collection. This is the largest and most
comprehensive solution for COVID-19 testing in the UK. and
complements Eurofins’ rapidly developed network of 500 testing
centres across Europe, facilitating testing for UK travellers at
European destinations. Eurofins expects to have established 1,000
centres across Europe by July.
Eurofins’ network of testing centres in the UK covers major
travelling hubs and provides testing accessibility in a broad
variety of locations such as hotels, event and conference centres
and travel agents, improving customer proximity and ease of
testing. Eurofins is on the Government’s approved list of COVID-19
testing service providers for Day 2, Day 5 and Day 8 testing.
The combined resources of 4 Eurofins laboratories in the UK will
process COVID-19 PCR tests. Results are provided electronically,
and can also be delivered alongside a travel certificate, for those
needing to make international journeys.
The home test kits can be delivered to hotels, self-isolation
locations and quarantine addresses, and can be used in support of
the international traveller’s requirements in each of the nations
in the UK.

To further support testing, in particular for European travel
this summer, Eurofins has created an intuitive web-portal for
travelers to book testing appointments and access their testing
information, not only in their country of origin, but also at
destination locations. All of Eurofins’ testing centres, including
those in the UK, are listed on a single landing page, identifying
nearby testing locations. This portal is available in 12 languages;

services to all travellers looking for a seamless, comfortable and
