I am wondering what is the situation if you test positive in France on the test you have to do before returning to UK? How long before you can take another test? Is there somewhere you have to isolate in?

Also thinking if that were to happen, we would presumably already have had our dog visit to vet. How soon can dog get a other worming tablet and check?

I haven't booked anything yet but just trying to sort things out in my head before/if we do. Am I over-thinking?!

A big problem.

Isolate in France for ten days - presumably on a quiet rural campsite - then re test and re book travel.

But I’m afraid I have no knowledge of worming treatment for dogs or how you get food while isolating.

Take some NHS tests (we were given enough to test every day for a month each time we picked up a prescription) and test every day up to the day you have to do the "Travel home" test. If any of the tests are positive cancel your ferry and isolate until a further NHS test is negative then rearrange your crossing and "travel home" test.

No ferry operator or other transport company can allow you to travel after a positive test, so hopefully you can avoid the issue with pre-emptive NHS tests.

Thanks Val that sounds like a sensible idea and should minimise problems with travel.

lizzie, the two questions that you ask is something I have looked at and can't find a clear answer
On the first question the official Govt guidelines are-

"If your test result is positive, you must not travel. You must follow local rules and guidance for positive coronavirus cases. If the result is inconclusive, you must take another test"

Now, this poses a couple of problems, where do you go? and what do you say when you get there? a local campsite is hardly going to welcome you with open arms if you turn up and say I've just tested positive for Covid, can I isolate here until I test negative?

So, now we have a moral dilemma, do I just turn up and keep schtum? only you can answer that one, not a problem if you're in a motorhome, you can disappear for a while

On the second question, I can't find any information anywhere on how long after the first tapeworm treatment can you have a second, can the dog overdose? do you have to have a second dose? I don't know and can't find out, I will ask a vet one day, it must happen all the time though with cars breaking down or other problems and missing the ferry/tunnel so I can't see it being a problem for a second vet visit asap

Surely you would actually be staying on a site, on route home, when you went for your test?

Then there would be a moral dilemma, do you tell them or just ask for extra nights.

XVI yes?

This is exactly the issue, it’s an enormous risk that you can’t do anything about. In my opinion it makes travel unfeasible which is why we cancelled our France trip last week.

You can file this one under any number of things that could go badly wrong a foreign holiday. If you worried that much you would never go anywhere.

I know Nowt about dogs. Therefore that pat is out for me.

On the part re; testing positive.
One would assume that if The French government is allowing you in, then they would assist with quarantine facilities, if you test positive. Maybe just like the folks having to be put up in Hotel isolation here in the UK. Probably at your own costs tho...
Hopefully, NOT hospitalised or even worse!

Our plan is to take some of the NHS lateral flow tests with us and test ourselves before going for our "official" test for travelling home. If we do test positive we'll hole up on an unmanned/automated aire somewhere (I've already bookmarked a couple) until we test negative and can travel home. I appreciate that this is much easier for MHs than tents or caravans.

We're both taking our work laptops with us as well just in case, though given we tend to keep to ourselves most of the time I think the chances of us contracting Covid are slim. Still, you never know and it doesn't hurt to be prepared....

In 2017 we broke down heading north and were stuck in France for a number of days (thank you Red Pennant for rescuing us!). In the meantime, the dog's treatment (done at a previous night halt) had run out. Once we knew when we would be able to travel home the campsite arranged for a visit to a local vet and all was done again. No one mentioned time scales between treatments and the dogs were fine.

That's good to know JoannaLesley. In the unlikely event of testing positive with our own tests the idea of an unmanned aire would be a plan.
We keep pretty much to ourselves when away tending to go to fairly quiet places. We were fine last year and duly did our 10 days quarrantine and I have to say it was worth it for 5 weeks away in my first months of retirement. I remember people saying last year, it's only one year's holiday but now this year there are more restrictions so who is to say the year after won't be worse again. I think we will do what we can to prepare and be prudent but go away. We have to wait until after 15th August so a whole lot more could happen in a month ...

Our dogs have regular 3 monthly worming treatment and we also used to travel to the EU with them 3 or 4 times a year. I checked with the vets whether the extra worming treatments prior to returning home could cause any problems and was reassured that there would be no problems.
