Covid testing in Rome
 
For those of you who have already been over to Italy while testing is required for US entry, I was wondering if the Wi-fi is strong enough in the hotels in Rome to do the eMed Binax virtual Covid testing? Or, if we go to a Pharmacy for the test, do we need to make a reservation with the pharmacy ahead of time?

We are just back.
We did the online proctored BiNax test in our hotel without issue (be sure to use Chrome to open it instead of Safari). No wifi issues.
There are testing tents set up all over (near pharmacies & in airport) if you want to go that route.

Agree, just back on the 12th. No problem finding pharmacies that did the test, 15 minute wait, 22E. Some do it all day long, the one I used around the corner from my apt did it only 1630-1830. I checked them both out before I needed the test just to confirm. Easy.
