Kirsten Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 This is from the Bermuda government's website: "A valid pre-travel COVID-19 test must be a COVID-19 NAAT test listed below or a supervised antigen test. COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT)” means a type of viral diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. NAATs for SARS-CoV-2 specifically identify the RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequences that comprise the genetic material (nucleic acids) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The COVID-19 NAATs accepted in Bermuda are: “COVID-19 PCR test” (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction), “COVID-19 LAMP test” (loop-mediated isothermal amplification), and, “COVID-19 TMA test” (transcription mediated amplification). A valid pre-arrival test result must meet the following standards: The COVID-19 test type must be indicated on the test result: RT-PCR, Rapid PCR, RT-LAMP, Antigen, The test must be performed by an accredited laboratory, healthcare provider or pharmacy" Based on this information, is a negative test result for a proctored (telehealth) antigen test (for vaccinated people) acceptable?

What could mean one thing in one country might mean something else in another country. KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
