Project Screen is an initiative developed by Prenetics, a digital healthcare company with headquarters in London and Hong Kong. Pre-Covid our core, business focused on providing personalised preventative health solutions via DNA and blood tests. Our company's mission has always been to make complex science accessible via a range of innovative self-collection test kits.

In 2020, we adapted and evolved into COVID-19 testing, taking advantage of our laboratory network, scientific expertise, and digital systems to deliver world-leading COVID-19 testing solutions.

Since April 2020, we have delivered over 1,000,000 COVID-19 tests across multiple sites in the UK. We are the exclusive testing provider for some of the world's biggest sporting leagues and governing bodies (including the Premier League and the England & Wales Cricket Board), film and TV production companies (including Sky and Disney), and aviation providers (including Heathrow Airport). In December 2020, we were announced as one of the first 10 UK Government-approved private testing providers for the Test to Release for International Travel scheme, allowing entrants to shorten their quarantine after arriving in England. After the success of our Test to Release home test kits, we have widened our offering to include home test kits suitable for the Green Day 2 or Amber Day 2 & 8, Fit to Fly, and for everyday testing for reassurance. More recently, we have partnered with IWG to launch pop-up Test Pods at multiple sites across England, to provide local COVID-19 testings for everyone in England, to further play our part in helping the UK get back to 'normal' as quickly, and as safely, as possible.

Project Screen currently offers a range of different home Covid-19 tests - Green Day 2, Amber Day 2 & 8, Test to Release, Fit to Fly, Health Check. We ship orders via DPD Next Day delivery. Order before 2pm to ensure your test kit(s) will arrive the next day. Please do not worry if your package does not arrive with the rest of your post. You'll receive a message from DPD on the day of delivery. This message specifies a one-hour period within which your parcel will be delivered.

2. Prenetics drop off locations
3. Self-arranged private courier

1. Free Royal Mail Tracked 24

All of our COVID-19 home test kits include free Royal Mail Tracked 24 return mailers to post your completed sample to our laboratory. Send your test kit back using the free Royal Mail return envelope provided via a Royal Mail Priority Postbox Monday - Friday. You can find your nearest Priority Postbox here. When researching your nearest Royal Mail Priority postbox, remember to consider the collection days and last collection times for a postbox. This should help ensure your sample arrives promptly at the laboratory. Please bear in mind that Royal Mail has limited or no service on Saturdays or Sundays, therefore kits should not be put in a postbox on a Saturday or Sunday with return to the lab expected on that day. Use the following table to understand when your sample(s) will arrive at our laboratory according to the day you posted your sample.

2. Prenetics drop off locations

By dropping off at one of our locations, your sample will be collected by courier and delivered directly to the laboratory. Depending on which Test Pod you drop your sample off at, the average time for samples arriving at the laboratory ranges from 6:30pm - 11pm. Please note that samples must be returned before the courier arrives and passed by hand to the staff member on site. Staff members sit within the Pod. For each pod, the courier arrives at closing time. For example, the closing time for the Dartford Pod is 4pm so the courier arrives at, or shortly after, 4pm. Prenetics does not accept any liability for lost or delayed samples that are dropped at the Test Pods out of hours and refunds will not be issued.

3. Self-arranged private courier

You can use a private courier. We recommend this option if you need to return your sample over the weekend to receive your COVID-19 results on a specific date. Please arrange a private courier to collect your sample and deliver it directly to our laboratory, at the following address: Anglia DNA Services, 33, Scottow Enterprise Park, Norwich, NR10 5GB.

Yes. The UK Government's 'traffic light system' categorises countries based on different Covid-19 factors including the rate of infection, the prevalence of variants of concern, the percentage of their population that have been vaccinated, and the country's access to reliable scientific data and genomic sequencing. The restrictions for inbound passengers include 10-day managed quarantine, home quarantine, and stringent testing - but these will apply to people differently, depending on whether the destination visited is categorised as ‘green’, ‘amber’ or ‘red’:

Green: arrivals will need to take a pre-departure test, as well as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test on or before day 2 of their arrival to England - but will not need to quarantine on return (unless they receive a positive result) or take any additional tests. Purchase a Green Day 2 Test here.

Amber: arrivals will need to quarantine for a period of 10 days and take a pre-departure test, and a PCR test on day 2 and day 8 with the option for Test to Release on day 5 to end self-isolation early. Purchase the Amber Day 2 and 8 Tests here. Purchase a optional Test to Release Test here.

Red: arrivals will be subject to restrictions currently in place for ‘red list’ countries which include a 10-day stay in a managed quarantine hotel, pre-departure testing and PCR testing on day 2 and 8.

Yes. Our Fit to Fly services utilise RT-PCR tests which are recognised as the global, gold-standard COVID-19 testing method. Our Fit to Fly test will confirm whether you are currently infected with coronavirus (COVID-19). Present your negative result at the airport as your Fit to Fly certificate.

Depending on which country you are visiting, you may be required to have proof of a negative COVID-19 result 48-96 hours before arriving at your destination. You will need to review the requirements of the country you are flying to regarding the specific timeframe for a Fit to Fly certification and prepare accordingly.

Choose between either our Fit to Fly at home COVID-19 kit or booking a Fit to Fly test at one of our pop-up Testing Pods in England.

Yes, of course. We have our Health Check COVID-19 testing services that will confirm whether or not you are currently infected with coronavirus (COVID-19).

If you are based in the UK, check to see if you live near one of our Test Pod locations to do your Covid test in person.
