Outdoor events - LFT proof ??

[ed_pete]

I'm going to watch QPR v Swansea next weekend and it falls under the new requirements to show a vaccine pass (which I have) or a negative LFT.

I received an email saying "The club will accept any form of proving a negative lateral flow test such as the physical test, photo of a recent test, or a screenshot of the recorded result which has been uploaded to the NHS."

Surely the photo of a negative test is ridiculous - here's one https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/news/mass-testing-covid-19/

Interested to know if others attending outdoor events have received similar.

I've just posted on this in the Covid section.

Unless you do the test in front of the person checking and hold up the whole queue while the result develops, you can just show someone else's test or photo of the test, or just lie? Surely?

And you could upload someone else's result and say it was yours?

Have I missed something obvious here?

That's why at our gigs we ask for proof of double jab or proof of exemption only, and check against names.

Even that probably isn't foolproof if someone was sufficiently determined.

In the spring we were asked a couple of times for a covid pass, in all cases they just gave a cursory look that you have one ... not that it's actually yours and the barcode scans and is valid
