Getting a covid test
Super helpful member
If you haven’t had a Covid test, you will ge as shocked as I was when my friend texted a short while ago to say that she was told to go to the clinic at Guardamar at 1.30pm today. When she arrived she was shocked to see approximately 25 people all sitting side by side, back to back and all waiting to be tested.
Yes, that’s how it was It you didn’t have it before going, you would certainly have it by the time you left.
I know that all expats watch the news from home and will have seen the drive through places where people go for a test. Nobody comes into contact with anyone else apart from opening the car window a fraction to deposit your test , nobody else should be near you. A booking is made ahead of arrival and a code is texted. You show the code through the car window and proceed.
If I had to go into that clinic today, I’d have turned on my health and gone home.
Were any of you aware of this procedure? For months and months I have been told how much safer everyone is in Spain and I really believed that but now I learn that this is the procedure it doesn’t surprise me that the infections are increasing over in Spain.
