Question about testing

It says you can get a test for someone you live with, does this mean that somebody can drive to a testing site, collect a test for someone else and post it back?

No you would have to drive the person to the testing site and carry out the test there.

Thanks, they don’t make it very clear. Doesn’t this put the driver at high risk from having to sit in a car near the person with symptoms? I know there are home tests but they seem hard to get.

Thinking hypothetically btw.

Totally what @gingeristhenewblack43 said.

But I did hear more postal tests were available today.

It's postal (post out post back) or test center and on site test. No combo available. I think the whole site would implode if you even asked. I nearly grounded mine asking if I needed to put my mask on....
