We're still on for Feb 2021 and 3/4 of us are fully vaxxed and I'll get a booster tomorrow.

2 of us in the party will need to be tested (non boosted) with either the 48hr rt-PCR or 24 Ag test. Looks like my kid can schedule hers 2 days in advance and insurance covers it.

But is EHAS specifically looking for certain test brands? And if yes, I couldn't find a list of what was accepted.

The reason I ask is that the wife may need to book the same test 2 days early and we're not sure the cost. And we came across this article which completely got me confused.

Also, as far as the SXM insurance....well, it makes sense but is anyone booking covacglobal insurance?

actually, when the term rt-PCR is used, are they asking for the rapid PCR?

Rapid PCR works as does the normal PCR, we have always used the IDNOW from walgreens

Exacly...IDNOW is perfect and very quick results....Walgreen's get a kudo for this one and for their decent advance appointment schedule
