After William’s first ride on the school bus, he went him coughing and then had a fever for 2 days, we decided to take him for Covid-19 test.
We made appointment on Walgreens.com, they asked a few health question and insurance (we don’t have to pay even if we don’t have insurance). To my surprise, William did not refuse to go at all, I guess because I explained it to him that it’d not be blood test; and that they just collect sample from his nostrils.
The test was done thru the Pharmacy Drive Thru window, the window was not open, they communicated with us thru the telecom and they put the stuffs in the metal box below the window and open that box for us to pick it up. They gave us 2 zip lock bags: 1 with information about the test which we keep, the other one has the small tube with some liquid on it and a cotton swab which we use to swirl around each nostril 5 times, then put the swab in the tube, break the stick to fit the tub, put in the zip lock bag, drop it back in the metal box.
That was it, painless and fast. William sneezed right away when we put the swab into his nostrils.
The result came back negative on 7/7/2021 which is 2 days later.
