Rapid Antigen Testing Now Accepted in The Canary Islands


Exciting News!

Rapid Antigen Testing Now Accepted in The Canary Islands

Confirmed today, 10th December 2020, the rapid antigen test is now a legally accepted test to enter the Canary Islands.

What this means for you

Last night it was announced by the Canarian Government that the rapid antigen test will become the second accepted test for entry to the Canaries and this morning the new law came into effect with the new rapid test being accepted as of today!

Since November travelers to the Canary Islands have been required to have a diagnosic test for active SARS-COV-2 infection with a negative test result, within 72 hours of arrival, with the PCR test being the only acceptable test. Now the cheaper fast antigen test takes some of the stress and difficulties out of the process.

 

What you need to know

Your test must be carried out within 72 hours prior to your arrival.

Your test must be carried out by one of the authorised testing centres in either your country or the EU. Click on your country for the list of authorised testing centres:

GERMANY         

FRANCE

SPAIN

ITALY

SWEDEN             

POLAND

If you live in a country where there are no authorized test centres, you may be able to access the services of those in another EU country. For example, if you live in Belgium or the Netherlands, then you should be able to access the services of the authorised testing centres in France or Germany.

More Info on the tests

The antigen test must detect SARS-COV-2 antigens with an accuracy of 97% and a sensitivity of over 80% as defined in the supporting documentation.

The test must come with a printed or digital certification that includes all of your details, the testing centres details and the accuracy and sensitivity of the test.

It is preferred that the test certificate is in Spanish or English.  

 

Is there anything else I need to do?

You will need to sign a Responsible Declaration and provide details of where you will be staying.

You need to download the RadarCOVID contagion alert app on to your smart phone. It is available for Android and iPhone and it will notify you of the risk of exposure to Covid-19 based on your location. Please ensure that your phone has location services turned on.

You may also find it useful to have a QR code reader on your phone as a lot of establishments are using them instead of traditional menus. 

Finally, we look forward to welcoming you back to Island Watersports, Lanzarote for some well deserved relaxation, sun and fun diving.
