Travellers at the mercy of Covid test providers

-

sir – President Macron allows us to enter France with evidence of double vaccinatio­n and a sworn “statement of honour” that we have not suffered Covid symptoms in the previous 48 hours or been in contact with a known Covid case in the previous 14 days.

However, to get back into our own country, where we were vaccinated, our Government requires evidence of a test in France before returning and a test on day two after our return to England.

At least the French test is at a fair fixed price, whereas the British day-two test is at whatever outrageous price the testing company thinks it can get away with.

If only our own Government had the same trust in us as demonstrat­ed by the French. One has to wonder who is profiting from this practice, which is completely out of line with much of Europe.
