Covid surging in Bonaire

I hope they reconsider.

This is a Netherlands requirement, not a requirement from Bonaire, which is a municipality of the Netherlands, legally.

They specifically were talking about the antigen test....
This was received by someone who contacted the Health Dept in Bonaire:

So here's the thing, how would they know where the test was performed? The newly approved Ellume test sends the data to the company and they email you an "official" result from their lab. I can't see how it would be any different than the one I got done in a parking lot...

I wouldn’t trust any test in which chain of custody cannot be proved. I doubt any government would either. Never going to happen.

Try it. Tell us how it goes.

United States government has approved it. I know that at least one of the home tests requires you to have a zoom call with a tech when you take the test. But of course I understand the chain of custody thing...

Just FYI for those following, Delta officially canceled our Feb 27th trip today. Disappointing for sure.

American just canceled February flights as well.

This Site from Tursiops indicates that the US airlines stood down for February at least while they adjust to the testing requirements. There’s a language selector top left. Amerikaanse vluchten voorlopig uitgesteld door nieuwe inreisregels Nieuws |

Sort of a serious question (and sort of not) I wonder if I brought a couple of lab antigen test boxes, my credentials, office lab forms to complete and did the testing in the airport lounge in front of the airline carrier, would it qualify?

What agency verifies the test?
