Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Just an update on testing.

Took my son for one yesterday - very mild symptom. Almost certainly not Covid.

You have to book. Our nearest one Abercynon no availability.

Your sent a text and Email with a bar code which is scanned through the car window on arrival.

You are then passed a sef testing kit with booklet/instructions through the window and you get on with it yourself throat both tonsils 10 seconds same then up the nose until you find resistance 10 to 15 seconds. You then put the swab in a tube with some liquid and then seal up in a small bag then another bio bag.

Bag is then dropped off as you exit.

Dont just rock up expecting to be tested.

And don't expect a result either. Mine got lost in the system, apparently.

And don't expect a result either. Mine got lost in the system, apparently.

I remember you saying this when my wife had one. 9 days later shes back in work im still isolating. Rang around and eventually they got back with a negative test. They said theyd had system problems.

This time the barcode is connected to your mobile and notified by text Email. Should get result in 48 hours. If no result after 5 days theres a number to ring.

I feckin hope this one doesnt go missing.
