Scotland is aligning with England and Wales by allowing lateral flow tests for people arriving from abroad. Nicola Sturgeon confirmed the change to the rules for day 2 tests. Lateral flow tests are cheaper than current PCR testing at around £20-30.
It is effective from 4am on October 31, for fully vaccinated arrivals to Scotland. People are required to book and pay for a test from a private test supplier and fill out a passenger locator form before arrival.
