Ok so a very nice nurse came in and asked some Qs. Took my temperature. No fever (I stopped having a fever last Friday). Blood pressure is high, however. But that could be (and probably is) related to anything else (my interpretation, not hers). Waiting on another nurse now.

Ok, so they came back and did another throat swab and nostril swab which they then send away. That’s the COVID-19 test. They’ve discharged me and told me I should have results within 72 hours from Dept of Health. I have been advised to self quarantine in the time being.

Some interesting notes: 1. I was the doctor’s first COVID-19 test. She said she’ll “always remember me” for it. Lol. 2. The procedures are clearly still v new for staff but they did a great job. 3. The test time is way longer than originally thought (hours is actually days).
