AIBU?? I ordered a covid test for myself 4 days ago as i thought id lost my sense of taste and didnt feel 100% had a snotty nose and felt exhausted (i am preg though!) Tried to order one for DP aswell (he lives with me) and it says u can order for up to 3 people u live with... but he had no symptoms so it wouldn't let me order him one.... mine came back negative... today my DP has been ill, sneezing, and temperature, he is really unwell with it and in bed says he is aching and thinks its flu... i just tried to order him one got to the end and it says u cant have one cos u recently ordered one to this address 😠 yes for me!! What the hell!?? What are we supposed to do now. Just want to point out that we have been following all the rules since march both worked all our lives and paid tax and NI and these are the 1st ones weve ordered.. AIBU to think this makes no sense since u can order 3 at a time anyway and it's for a different person!?... they're not helping much since they are trying to STOP this virus.. what if he just went out tomorrow to the shop and was positive!?

@boredinthouse who do you think is going to walk in centres to get tested for Covid? People who think they might have Covid, that's who. So people with symptoms.

The govt has made it clear that isolation rules don't apply if you have to go to a testing centre. But they ask that you take all precautions to avoid others and socially distance to the max.

@Crunchymum yes i was trying to be an honest person and didn't order two cos he didn't have symptoms at the time.. i could have lied but i didnt.. but if it happens again.. i think i will lie !

@boredinthouse

He has symptoms yes.. but this is what the gov site has advised us to do... no he won't have to get transport
