sassenach Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Stings like a mother, but could not have been easier. Drive through testing is great. I’m not ill. I need it to return to my nursing school clinicals. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 After I got back my school said to wait and not get tested yet (this was after they told us we needed to get tested) so I may have to do it all again! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwik Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Do you have to quarantine until the results come through - I did but it was less than 48 hours and would have been less is I hadn't tested on a Sunday. I didn't feel it as the reason I was tested was I was clearly coming down with something which turned out to be inflamed sinuses which were numb along with my cheeks by the time I got there.

No, because I’m not sick. This is for clearance to work in a hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwik Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 No I guess not. I hope they have a fast turn around on tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around here, that would discourage people from getting tested. Our county is encouraging essential workers to get regular testing so they can catch those asymptomatic cases early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pen Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Did they have a numbering people in line system where if person somewhere ahead in line left the results would get given to wrong people from then on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they checked me in with an iPad, opened the test kit in front of me, scanned the barcode and gave it to me to check my results. It was all very efficient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
