If you've had a drive through Covid test did you have to print out and take paperwork with you?

No you show them the QR code on your phone.

Has anyone who was unable to book online taken a chance and gone to a drive through without an appointment? I hear many are much quieter than the availability suggests

@Augustbreeze thanks! No need to buy flipping expensive printer ink then 😃

Yes you're fine! They actually scanned my qr code through my window.

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys we got a test "on spec" yesterday at a walk through and have certainly heard of it working for drive through centres too.

The problem is is lab testing capacity not testing site capacity.

Aaaarrrggghhh!
Still waiting for result - it's 'only' been 50 hours. Cannot get through on helpline - kept me on hold half an hour then cut me off.
Have had it Angry

51 hours - negative. 3 days school missed.
Fingers crossed they have now built up some immunity for generic Autumn term illness. Cynical side of me thinks I am one of the few that did everything by the book.
