You simply send in the swab. The issue is why bother when it takes 3 days to get the answer, so you don't save much time as against self-isolation.

The reason for the dearth of kits is because they are made by Airfix. And all the toyshops are closed.

What's the point at some level. Good chance you'll be over it within 50% of that time. That said, a real bummer if you take the test and then it returns negative.

I thought there is an issue with the accuracy of the test for those who have had the illness? One more point
