In trying to line up all of the testing requirements for our trip this Friday, I found us in a time squeeze. Can’t take the test too early because of the rules, but can’t take it too late or won’t have the results back in time to submit to EHAS, who said to allow 12 hours for their own processing.

Crazy, did an Excel spreadsheet and figured we had a three hour window to get tested, whether PCR or Antigen test.

So we are getting a PCR and hoping it comes back earlier than their stated turnaround, but also getting an Abbott ID Now molecular test which is a rapid test but MIGHT qualify as a PCR (different tech, but similar performance)..

Anyone use the Abbott IDNow like this?
