St. Thomas Antigen test

We are chartering in St. Thomas at the end of March. They require an antigen or PCR test within 5 days of arrival. I have the home antigen test but haven't taken it. My question is what do I physically present to the authorities to show I am in compliance? How will they know it was taken within the prescribed time frame? Is there someone out there who has gone through this procedure than can enlighten me?

Re: St. Thomas Antigen test

When you go to a lab, they date the time the SAMPLE was collected.

Most places it is a SAMPLE taken within X days or X hours, not results within x days or hours.

Don’t wig out, I’m a delivery guy and have had so many tests, I’m almost use to it. Spend some time on Google and find a lab. The fewer people between you and the folks who process it, the better.

Re: St. Thomas Antigen test

The only acceptable home tests are the proctored tests where you take the test while on a video call with the lab. www.emed.com
