    As an Australian: last 3 times I got a COVID-19 test I got the results back within 18 hours, no fuss because it's standard And they were free 👀👀https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1384498734696861708 …

    So update on our moving situation: my spouse and I need to have negative COVID tests within 72 h of crossing the Canadian border. We obtained these tests at @CarbonHealth in Seattle on the 18th because we knew it would be hard to get these in eastern Montana where we are crossing

        Note: I'm talking PCR here, rapid antigen tests are a different story (I suspect the Canadian requirement is for PCR)

        I got a free rapid test this afternoon and was called with results 20 minutes later. Either there's a state difference here or... ?

        Once she’s in Canada, any COVID tests (or other medical tests) she gets will also be free.
