Testing before arrival

[ArubaFan22]

Quick question. What are the time requirements for testing when entering? Is it a strict 72 hours before departure time or can you test any time of day 3 days before your departure date? Thanks! I just know when I went in July it was a strict 72 hours and didn't know if that changed. It can be a pain to get time of day on test results here sadly.

Saw this but was more looking for clarity on what 3 days means. Does it mean anytime on the third day before departure or more strictly 72 hours before departure? Thanks!

3 days

Here is an example............ you could test at 12:01 am on a Monday and the third day can be as late as 4 hrs prior to flight on Thursday..............actually by following the DAYS....you get more time than the 72 hrs. as long as you take the test within 3 days and submit the test results within 4 hrs prior to flight, you will be good.

We r testing at our county public health on Monday at 8 am and drive to lauderdale on Wednesday morning and stay over and fly to AUA on Thursday morning.
We hope that our test results come within 24 hrs.

Thanks so much for the clarification!
