How many times have you been tested for Coronavirus?

[NoXion]

Yes. The vaccine doesn't stop you getting covid and testing positive. I've tested negative several times (lft) since being jabbed.

Right, for some reason I thought that getting a vaccine meant there would be a false positive when taking a PCR test. I dunno why.

Ooh, changed vote! Await result! (Will be negative - this is just a compulsory pre-hospitalization Covid test).

 

[fishfinger]

I've now had 2. One before I went to hospital and the second at hospital - both negative.

I’ve had a PCR today. Feeling slightly ropey (probably hay fever) but as I was pinged for last weekend I thought I should get a test before the end of my isolation.

Think I've had 7 now - last two were mid June when my son had a sudden really high temp and fatigue and there were reasons I really needed to know if I might have it as well. Then 2 weeks ago I had an awful cold with really bad sore throat and everywhere was saying delta was like a cold so I took one, but was negative.

Think I'm up to five now.

 

[Babe Rainbow]

I'm doing a home test every 2 or 3 days. Have been doing for a couple of months. Just for me. Work haven't arranged anything.

Since I've been travelling to different work sites around north of England I've been doing the LFT's every 3 or 4 days and then when I got a ping after returning from Latitude I also did the PCR test, all negative. Work didn't arrange anything for me other than saying use masks, wash hands and sanitiser.

72 times:
14 PCRs for ONS survey
1 PCR when a contact
1 PCR for surge testing
16 LFTs at a test centre
36 LFTs at home
4 antibody blood tests for ONS survey

It's six now. Refuse to change my vote as there a too big a gap between 5 and 'lots'.
