Josefine sought information from both the embassy and the British Foreign Office.

There she found no information that she needed a negative PCR test, ie a test that shows that she does not have corona at the time the test was taken, to get on board the flight.

"The airline that decides"

But to make sure that you get on a flight home to Sweden, it is important to both check with the embassy what rules apply - but also with the airlines.

Namely, they can have their own rules about what is needed to get on board the plane.

- Ultimately, it is the airline that decides which passengers are to be dropped on their flights, says Erik Karlsson at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs' press service.

Josefine was denied boarding the plane

Josefine Thorén was involved in just this.

She was refused to fly to Sweden from London, via Malaga in Spain.

The reason was that she could not show a negative coronal test.

- It is more complicated to travel right now, you as a traveler must be aware of that, says Erik Karlsson at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs' press service.
