Nope. Ironic, isn't it, considering they are made in-state.

Convenient MD has them, but state they will not utilize them if you need a test for travel.

The only place I can find close to me in Maine at the moment that offers ID-NOW tests you can book up to 36 hours in advance is AFC Urgent Care in South Portland, at $160 each.

We have to overnight in Miami, and it looks like there are two testing locations inside the airport there that offer rapid PCR/NAAT tests, so we could do that as a last resort if we needed to.

Yes, that is the same thing we found.


I did email Public Health department in Bonaire and the reply email mentions that the 48 hours is from our departure in Portland, Maine. I was very clear that we are spending the night in Atlanta, but the email response says the time starts on our first flight. It doesn't make much sense so I am trying cover both, departure time from Portland and from Atlanta the next morning.

We are doing a NAAT (PCR) test 2 day before departure (at CVS) and the ID-NOW the day before.

Good plan.

Yeah, one of the concerns now is the night in Atlanta... nothing in particular against Atlanta. :)
 
Many of the facilities in my area that do PCR tests have suspended them for travel. My fiance and I were only able to get them scheduled because we're Healthcare workers. I've noticed a lot of people here talking about paying for the tests. Our insurance covers us. Lucky I guess.

So when we got to Walgreens, they wouldn't take our insurance. Or any other payment of any kind.
