How many tests have you had?

[TLIMSISNW]

I’m participating in one of the Covid studies and have had 5 tests in total. Two were due to symptoms and 3 were due to the study calling me in for tests due to headaches or a rash etc.

I’m happy to do my bit and go for tests when the app suggests it as it all helps to understand the virus more but I just feel a bit embarrassed about having had so many!

I’m in a public facing, frontline role if that’s relevant.

How many tests have you had?

None

...

none

None. Two DDs (primary) none. DH one but only because he was sent a random test as part of the NHS testing. It came back negative

None

About 15 - ONS study, all negative.
0 tests for symptoms though.

I've had a PCR one as I lost my taste a couple of days after developing some sort of bug - negative. I now have LFT tests twice a week from work.

DH hasn't had any.

DD had one - hospital gave her a PCR literally 30 mins before being taken for emergency surgery.

Two. One negative, one positive.

10 - work introduced weekly testing. I find it quite comforting!

1. I report symptoms on the Zoe study app so they have all been prompted by that. Last one was positive.

None.

Feels like hundreds! ( probably a bit less..)
I'm care home manager and we have one PCR a week and more recently also 2 LFD tests per week on top.

Three.

One as part of the random NHS testing, two workplace tests. All negative.

I've probably had about 15 from ONS study. 2 LFTs from when there was widespread community testing round Xmas and a PCR when I had symptoms. All negative.

None. My workplace offers PCR testing, but I’m not in enough days a week (usually two - testing recommended if you’re in mire than three). The recommendation will change as things open up, so I imagine I’ll get one soon enough.

One. Negative.

I’ve lost count ☹️

None

DH and I both two. First one for me was before admittance for surgery. The second was due to symptoms and was positive.

6 - all asked for by the Zoe app. All negative and all after reporting symptoms of sore throat, headache or fatigue.

I'm having three a week for work and have been since last year, prior to that it was weekly. I also participated in an early study right at the beginning which was also weekly for 12 weeks. So I would estimate I've had about 70+. All negative.

I'm a teacher but we don't get routine testing and I'm lucky that I've not had any symptoms that would require a test (yet!)

I'm doing the ONS study so I've had about 8 tests for that. Aside from that, one test when I had a symptom. All tests have been negative.

22. Teacher and we have twice weekly testing. Plus I was getting them before seeing my mum in her care home. Still gag every time.

Around 70.

Work introduced weekly tests in September, then when the LFD tests were introduced we have 2 of those a week, and if we have a positive staff member we then have them at the start of every shift for 7 days.
