They have been accepting the shallower swab PCR tests at least since November. That's what we had, and were approved. I do understand that the official page specifies the deeper one, but they're not enforcing that.

I went to a local urgent care yesterday afternoon for a rt-PCR test and had the result in my LabCorp portal when I woke up today. I am more concerned about getting a test next week on island. While my host resort does have someone come on property on Wednesday mornings, I will be out diving during their window of availability. I looked at a link for testing sites and it seems many were morning hours only. Best to book times at https://medcare.aw/en/covid-test-appointments-sxm/

Yes, we ended up booking an appointment at Medwork, before we left home--once we finally felt we actually WERE going to leave!!!!

I will be an "In Transit" visitor next month. It appears that the only requirement that I will NOT need to meet is the COVID insurance. Am I reading that correctly? The change to 72 hours may necessitate a second test in addition to the one I need for Anguilla (5 days).

Scubaman, I'm not confidant that I'll get results back quickly enough to apply for approval from both SXM and AXA. Anguilla is very specific in their test requirements (nt-PCR, no self-administered, etc......). If the turn around time for results is longer than 24 hours, that seem tight. I read of people scheduling 2 tests, one at 5 days, and another quick one at 3 days. That may be an option. Then again , the rules may change again!
