Having a covid test

I had a Covid test last month; again a DIY but there was someone there to talk me through every step

Overthehill, my son and daughter in law isolated after the first test till Xmas day. We just think it was too early in their infection to be picked up by first test. We are now just waiting to see if we have it. Feeling a bit under the weather so think we probably have. ???

Sunlover that's the problem isn't it. You can be clear at that moment in time but the following day be in contact someone else who has it

My son and daughter in law had test before Xmas that came back negative. We saw them two days later on Xmas day. Her father has tested positive so they got themselves retested. Positive this time. We are now awaiting our test results. All very worrying

We have to book a test here in Wales. hubby had one on Dec 7th th which came back positive on my birthday two days later. He stayed in the bedroom the whole time. I took trays of food/drinks/tablets etc up for him and left them on the landing. At no time did we meet, just speaking through the bedroom wall and on the phone, yet 1o days later I had a temp, had a test and was also positive. That's how virulent this virus is. I have to say that at the test centre everything was explained clearly to us -albeit through the car windows which were shut at all times

Also Cornishpatsy where we live in London, you don't have to book a test, you just turn up

The gov site, where you can book a test explains what to do and how to do it.

Pleased you got a negative result, wonder what was wrong with you and how you caught it.

We hadn't caught it. We went because hubs felt shivery, shakey and tired and we were worried it could be 'it'. He was soon better
