Just because you get a test and you test negative, doesn’t mean you can’t go out and contract Covid-19.
Use your common sense people. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and if you are vulnerable, avoid large crowds. It’s not hard. people.
Stop watching the television. Go outside in your backyard or front yard. You don’t have to stay locked in your house. It’s complete nonsense.
Mary,
Maybe everyone should just dig a hole and jump in it. Fear has caused society to think irrationally.
Do you really think the kids Should go back to school after school
REGARDING:
“I got the results of my test on the phone. A hard copy or email copy of the results are required to go back to work.”
If you mean actual call, you still have problems. If you mean text, you might get a printout at work, the library, or by friends with a printer.
Best wishes
I got the results of my test on the phone. A hard copy or email copy of the results are required to go back to work. I am a health care worker. I requested a copy on the phone and 2 emails. Still no response. It is ridiculous. My brother still doesn’t have his results. We were both tested at UWF on May 7th.
