Thanks BoL.
So Lucy, her Dad and i went to get tested. They have set up multiple temporary buildings in a large car park, you can either queue up to get tested or do it yourself, so we opted for the latter.
The first thing you see is a large sign telling you to keep your windows closed. We were then directed to one of the buildings, where one of the workers (all of whom are in masks and gloves) held up a series of signs for us to read through the car window, just informing you of the protocol. The only odd thing about the protocol was this (verbatim) :
"Do not film us or we will not let you get tested"
Nothing about 'do not film others', just don't film the staff.
The last sign said "Call this number", you call the number and it's the mobile of one of the workers in the building who then has you open one car window only 2 inches so that he can drop 3 test kits through the gap.
The test is a bit uncomfortable, you have to swab your nostril, which is fine, and your tonsils, which triggers the gag reflex, for 10 seconds each.
So the protocol is very strict, which is good, but the instructions for using the test kit didn't correspond to the kit, the instructions told you to put a barcode on the test vial, which already had a barcode on it, and on another bag, which also already had a barcode on it. I wouldn't like to be older and a bit confused and have to do it, but you can always wait in the queue and have the workers test you.
I opted for the self-test for us all because, even though the workers told me when i asked that they change their gloves after every swab, i just wanted to minimise risk for us all.
Should have results by lunchtime tomorrow.
