I'm a little confused by the portal ( shocking right?) I came thro STT in June with a Covid 19 antibody test that says it is valid til 4/22. Will this work for me coming back Oct 3 or do I need a new test or a negative Covid test? I believe they said the antibody test only covered four months but, as said, mine is valid til next year. Grateful for any help..I'll buy a round at The Emerald Beach bar Oct 4!

Unfortunately, they are no longer accepting the antibody test.  You have to either get a rapid or PCR test.  We were hoping to use our antibody test again as well.

Yes, and that is what we plan to do.  I will take the test 5 days prior to our arrival in BVI so it will work for both.  Just saw on another thread that the Binax Now Emed test was accepted recently on a BVI portal entry.  I am going to follow that and see if they have a successful entry before trying that test.
