Hi
So, we managed to get over for a week back in August and here is our tale....
- We filled out and signed a sworn statement, saying we didn't have symptoms and hadn't been in contact with anyone with the virus.
This form had to be uploaded to the our area on the Eurotunnel website
- Downloaded the French Covid app, as well as the NHS and had vaccine proof on both
- Travelled on the tunnel - asked at check-in if we were vaccinated and again at passport control - we responded with a 'yes' and all was fine
- Boarded the tunnel and off we went!!
So - no need to have a test before travelling as the French seem to have a grown up approach to travel. We had to take a lateral flow (big con) before we returned to the UK and another PCR on our return (another big con) but this is changing in October.
In summary - getting over was a breeze and getting home was a pain (in the nostril)!
Hope that helps a bit - we're coming again on October so haven't been put off. We miss Lathus!!
Keep safe
