ORIGINAL POSTER

As ok plans are made just a question on COVID testing. 

When does the 72 hours start 

Is it when you get tested or when you receive your results. 

Also where do you get tested for return flight. 

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The 72-hour period for COVID-19 testing typically starts from the time you are tested, not when you receive your results. For your return flight, it's important to find designated testing locations that meet the requirements set by your airline or destination country.
