History

About the picture(s)

This is basically the home testing kit you get if you suspect you have CoVID. The process is: 1) Go online and either order test kit (or book an appointment at a local test centre) 2) When you get the kit you have to register online with the barcode - this involves a scan from your phone 3) You then self-administer the test - a swab (like a cotton bud) at back of throat (but avoid touching tongue or teeth) and then put it up a nostril. You then handle it carefully, making sure you don't touch he swab and put it into a plastic tube, which goes in a bag, which goes in a box (that you assemble). 4) There are dedicated postboxes for you to send your test back as pictured and then you wait. I received my test result within 24 hours (negative thankfully!).
