dont understand testing requirement

[2ball]

When and how am I allowed to use a quick covid test?

Rapid tests that are proctored are sold by Emed.com in a 6 pack and by Royal CAribbean in lesser quantities.

only fully vaxxed can use them. Unvaxxed kids must get a PCR test taken no more than 3 days before the cruise sailing but NOT on the day of sailing)
 

vacvinated can use rapid  (antigen ) (the above mentioned kits or supervised drug store testing)or PCR taken no more than 2 days before a cruise sailing.  So a Sunday cruise the earliest test can be Friday..  you must be able to show electronic results or print out. Nothing handwritten.  If you click on “health” in the app you should see the healthy protocols

Thanks.  Places that do a travel test are charging $.  Are there places that will test for free?

So this is saying that if you do a home test, you need to have a telehealth professional watching you via video over your phone? Is this true?

Places like CVS and Walgreens. Also, if you have any of those pop-up testing places nearby. Just make sure they send result through email and have the proper accreditation.

Yes. You cannot do your own test at home by yourself. You have to be monitored by a proctor. These tests have an Rx on the box.
