COVID testing

Have been carrying out COVID19 testing at work today.  In the last seven or so days, we have lost four staff, but thanks to the way testing for COVID-19 has been improved, we have got two back already and one more is returning tomorrow.

But today we tested frontline workers.  I was one of the volunteers for testing and carried all (but my own) out.  Not all got tested, but some of us did as a way of the health service trying to find out how many people in the NHS are working but are asymptomatic carriers.

The procedure was uncomfortable and carried a risk of spreading infection in itself.  Also it was meant to have been carried out yesterday but we were not sent the samples.  And now it is a wait for the results.  Considering how we are monitoring temperatures at work now, I doubt that anyone will be found to be a carrier.
