Bloody NHS Covid Passport Dilemma... help!

[Noangelbuthavingfun]

Need some advice from people more experienced and less frantic than me!
Due to travel to Spain in 12 days.... God knows why I thought that would be a good idea with all the stress!
Both DH and I vaccinated fully. DS under 12 so no vaccination or tests to fly needed.
My Covid passport worked before ... I tested it, all good for 30 days.
Yesterday got a positive PCR test result and need to isolate for a further 7 days... that's also fine as isolation ends 5 days before flight date. DS and DH negative.
Checked today and my Covid passport has now disappeared! I can understand why it won't be valid today or at this point but there is no info on when it will be reinstated or what the process is and am worried I don't get it back working before we fly, even if I am recovered and completed isolation ! What now ?! Has this happened to anyone ? Did you get the covid pass reinstated after 10 days digitally ? Or does the vaccination status now go out the window and I need a pre-flight PCR "fit to fly" test as I won't get a covid passport again ?
So frustrated as just don't know how it works now and what to expect .... anyone had this same experience and can enlighten me please? Thanks !
AIBU - just trust the system it will be OK
AINBU - get a fit to fly test as its now stuffed up

@Noangelbuthavingfun hopefully I'm wrong, a patient told me so it must be true

I've just checked and it's bollocks so don't worry.

My pass has gone but that's because I've got covid

The NHS app has had issues this week. I’m currently in Greece, the app said I needed to update and then crashed. Fortunately I had the paper letter with me, although I was only asked for it at the airport.

Mine has now allowed me to update.

@Noangelbuthavingfun I now have the vaccine pass saying I've had both jabs, and I also have another thing on the app saying I've had Covid and recovered

@Stronger2021 and @AuditAngel thank you. Requested the letter as back up. I hope that's enough but I am sure I read somewhere u need the app too but can't find it ! I will be over the isolation period but just know there is a stuff up waiting to happen somewhere... Audit did they check your letter both sides and accepted it?

It will be ok OP
It will be reinstated automatically

BUT your concern should be that you Dh doesn’t get it later than you!!

@Cuck00soup thank you! Feels like a really gotten cold...glad it's no worse.
Is it only 14 days after that it shows or after your 10 days isolation ? Supposed to fly on day 14 itself of having the test ! 😒

That’s what I would be stressing about

@Reallyimeanreally2022 omg I can't even think about that .. he is negative at the moment . Then I will just leave him here and go with DS

Forget your covid password
That will be fine

But your dh is another matter…

And of course your son

I've just checked mine (also found out you can add your pass to your Apple wallet which is new).

The recovery pass lasts for thirty days from the date you push the QR code to request it. It says you can generate it on the 14th day after a positive test, but I'm afraid I can't confirm that as I didn't try until a week or so later.

@Cuck00soup thanks. Do u have any idea if the 14 days includes the testing day ?
I am going to hdbd to book a test to fly test and gave the nhs letter of vaccination. I wonder if that will be OK as a combo and then just horget the nhs covid passport .....

@madkittylady just checking in is your covid pass now reinstated as you completed your 10 days isolation ?? Hope u are ok

@Noangelbuthavingfun yes it's back!
Not that I'm going anywhere, just been to Tesco and it's wiped me out 😴

Hope all ok with you x

@madkittylady oh good to hear on both accounts! Can't wait to go to Tesco lol
I must say I feel wiped out too...4 more days of isolation but I feel no better than day 3... did you have the same ?

@Noangelbuthavingfun no still feel a bit rubbish. Had horrible sinus pains and headaches and am so tired!
Forgot to get dishwasher tablets which is the final straw in my decline 😂

Op… dh and ds still lurgy free?!

@Reallyimeanreally2022 yes! Doing lft every day ! I am still positive ! Bloody annoying..... but glad no issues there so far. Fingers crossed 🤞

@Noangelbuthavingfun I tested positive on LFTs until day 8 so don't panic yet!

My covid pass is back !!!! 🙌

And husband and ds escaped?!

This thread has kept me sane! My isolation ended at midnight; my pass has been reinstated already.

Any idea what we do when we have to do an LFT now on our return? When we're not meant to do LFTs for 90 days after a positive test? Are we exempt? Anyone know?

And DD and DH escaped. Just got to keep
DD - for her pre-travel PCR on Sunday. But she's still LFTing every day, and so far, so good.

@Lemonsole we just came back, no issues at all and I did the day 2 pcr and negative ! You still need to do day 2 - now lft. I wouldn't worry. Good luck !
