Showed up at 12:45 and there was a line ( Sadly I caught the all teachers getting tested.) Took 90 minutes and they did the one were they swab your brain. It feels weird but not as bad as folks describe it.
Received an automated phonecall today less than 48 hours after test Negative
Cost $0
Not taking a shot at Canada (I love Canada) but besides the cost I don't see how this is positive.
Show symptoms on Thur so if positive you've already been shedding.
4 days to get a test and 2 days waiting for the results. Basically 7 days from symptomatic to test results.
If you had been positive, the tracing effort is going to be a lot less effective.
Faster tests and results are needed.
