4:59Now PlayingElisa told LBC she was "almost embarrassed" when she compared the coronavirus testing experience in the Faroe Islands to the one she faced when she returned to the UK.
She told James O'Brien when she arrived in the country she had a test at the airport, revealing travellers are unable to leave the airport until they have been tested.
Elisa told James that she then got another test at a local hospital on her sixth day in the country.
She said this was to ensure travellers were not infected with coronavirus after they had arrived in the country.
When James asked how far she had to travel for that test, the caller said it was about a ten-minute drive, but she did say there could be an hour wait.
However, she revealed the results would be delivered "the same night."
"At the airport, do you get your results before you leave the airport?" James asked.
In stark contrast to the UK, the caller said you are asked to go to wherever you are staying and remain there until you get your test results.
The UK does not have compulsory coronavirus testing on arrival in the country, despite the travel industry pushing for the move.
