[quote=Flagler Paul
For the return, we are bringing a 6-pack of the Abbot BinaxNow proctored tests which we will do 48 hours before we return and again complete [/quote]
I am interested in your thought process for this. If I understand correctly, this is a Covid PCR Home Collection test. This then requires shipping to a lab and THEN results available 24hrs after receipt. Shipping from Virgin Gorda?

Check your timing on your PCR test. If you take it on Friday wouldn’t be within the 5-day window as I understand it. I also thought you had to have everything into the portal 24 hours before you start travel or you will be denied.

Has anyone used the 6 pack for more than 3 people? We were planning on using this in November for our return to STT but it would only let me put in 3 names (as stated above).

You can use the 6 pack for 6 people if you like. There is no connection between the order information and the account used to take the tests. Each person will create their own account and when the login, the proctor has no idea who ordered them. To the OP: 1. I would drop the idea of the PCR test. No need to go thru the stress of the timing. Just go to the same CVS and get an antigen test; much quicker and cheaper 2. You may have to pay the $50 test fee when you register on the portal instead of in person. This requirement seems to keep changing. 3. Is Seahorse a BVI company? If not, you may want a backup water taxi because I think only BVI based water taxis can enter currently. 4. Make sure you have a confirmation from your villa before you start the portal because you'll need to upload it. It would be wise to have all names on it if possible. You didn't mention, but I assume they are on the list of Gold Seal Approved accommodations available here.

Thank you Jason. None of the CVS near us have the rapid antigen test available for travelers, but I am going to keep looking, good thought! Seahorse is carrying passengers between Red Hook and Spanish Town/Road Town. I spoke to the owners a couple of days ago to reconfirm after hearing someone else mention the distinction between USVI and BVI based private water taxis. The villa is approved and I have all the details for that, good reminder.
You could also order the home proctored tests from eMed.com and do them yourself from home.

Paul--you might check with Walgreens about a rapid antigen test, but around here in Central Florida, they are not doing them right now either..
