T&C says their border is open but is it possible or practical to comply with TCI Assured?
Required, PCR test - 5 days from arrival. So, you have your LAB/Land/Diving/Flight paid for. What if your 5 day PCR test doesn't arrive on time?
Your test comes back, but spouse or partner or your kid's test does not, what then? Leave the wife and home, go diving - how's this going to work?
Colorado - can't find access to a quick turn-around test for an asymptomatic patient
AirEvac for COVID - possible?
How does the 5-day risk work for you?

- A negative COVID-19 PCR test result. The test must be taken within 5 days of arrival in the TCI. <<>>
- Insurance which covers
- COVID-19 medical costs
- full hospitalization
- doctors’ visits
- prescriptions
- air ambulance.
- A completed online health screening questionnaire.
- Local hospital says
- CMM & Vail Health are offering COVID-19 testing.
- "The genetic (diagnostic) test typically includes a nasal swab and is used to determine if a person is currently sick due to COVID-19."
- Speaking with Vail Health - they prioritize turn-around for the folks that are sick. Not sick, just curious if you are negative - low priority, no guarantee on test result time.
- UCHealth - University of Colorado. Called UCH, very pleasant, said not sure doc would order PCR test if no symptoms for travel.
- "UCHealth provides two types of COVID-19 tests: a nasal swab (PCR) test, which detects the presence of the COVID-19 virus in the nasal passages, and a blood test which looks for COVID-19 antibodies. The nasal swab test is recommended only for those currently experiencing symptoms."
- UCH Urgent Care
- "Either a doctor’s order from a UCHealth provider or provider that has medical staff privilege with UCHealth."
- PCR test if you are asymptomatic, not a health care worker, first responder, essential worker - then you need symptoms for the test at most locations
- CMM & Vail Health are offering COVID-19 testing.
- If you don't currently have in hand air evac insurance, what insurance company would write coverage?
