Spa - October 2021 - Covid question

[BobToc]

Anyone have the latest view on travelling there?

I’m an Irish citizen, will be travelling from the UK (via a couple of days in Germany), and won’t be in Belgium for more than 48 hours.

I think that means I’m ok, but anyone else done the research?

We're aiming to travel to Spa for the CD day. From what I can understand, under 48 hours just means you can skip the PLF. You need to take a test on arrival (within 2 days) and quarantine until you have a negative result. You then need a negative test result to enter back into the UK (The initial test in Belgium will hopefully count if within 3 days of return) and then the 'day 2' test on arrival into the UK. A PLF is required before returning to the UK also. If travelling by Eurotunnel, you should upload you vaccination and test result to the booking.

Looking into Prenetics (DIY kit) as an option in Belgium. If that is no good then there are various test centres in Belgium. Depending on what event is on at Spa, you could be tested at the circuit.
Have used Randox for the day 2 test in UK (seem to be the cheapest)

Thanks for this, that’s a bit unhelpful on the outbound quarantine point. Although if it’s one that you can do yourself and you don’t need to send it off, maybe that’s not such a big deal.

There are potential plans to have a testing center in the paddock.
