Children COVID Test?

I understand current protocols include a PCR test on arrival and again on day four for unvaccinated children. My question is regarding the local test result before travel, must it also be a PCR, or can the kids take a 'rapid test' for the purpose of completing the portal for authorization?

Good news - the day 4 test has been eliminated based on the official gazetted protocols.

Bad news - it appears they need a PCR test for entry

They did a throat swab on my 11 year old granddaughter last week.

So, was it true that she did not have to test on Day 4?

She was not required to test. Surprised us!
