Just encountered an interesting Brexit related change.
We're considering a trip to visit friends in Austria some time in early 2021 and as part of that are planning around implications of us catching Covid while there. Part of this has required us calling a few local doctors to find out about how Covid testing works for non nationals.
Its free for all EU citizens under EHIC. UK nationals pay the same as all other non EU citizens....ranging from 40 to 90 euros. First time I've seen UK citizens being treated differently for healthcare since Brexit.

EDIT: I misread the email we were sent. Its nothing to do with EHIC. Its a policy decision that testing is only free for EU citizens.
