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?

Loads! I get tested twice a week now as I work in a school. Plus quite a few before that through the Zoe app. Most negative. One positive.

Three, one to go on holiday, one for symptoms (cough) and one because the Zoe app asked me to go (headache). All negative.

5 - all negative.

3 through the Zoe app for headaches, sore throat and the like (have been invited for 2 more that I didn't do)

2 lateral flow when I've been volunteering at the vaccine clinic.

One positive

29. I've just counted my text notifications During the first lockdown I had 2. But since December we have had to take 3 a week - 1 PCR 2 LFTs.

All negative. Only 1 of our residents have ever tested positive. And 3 staff members, although only 1 had any significant illness from it and she has an underlying condition.
We have been very lucky.

None testing for active infection.

3 antibody tests as part of a research study, all negative.

None, although toddler DD has had one (negative)

Just counted notifications. I've had 54!

...

3 PCRs, all negative

1 for hospital pre-admission
2 for Zoe (occasional cough)

None. I’m currently in a school where all staff should have twice weekly lfts. Apparently cleaners are not included -despite doing deep cleans when the bubbles burst. 🤷‍♀️

None for me dd an dp

Just one, the day before my c section.

No one else in family had to have one yet.

None

The Zoe app asked me once to do for fatigue but i didn't because i hadn't slept for a few days so knew the fatigue was because of that

Two because of symptoms and now two a week of the lateral flow tests for work (teacher working in school every day).

I think I had covid back in March but you couldn't get tests then unless in hospital.

None

I'm a teacher, currently doing 2 lateral flow tests a week.

Lots but I work in a nursing home. 3 tests a week (2 are the lateral flow ones)

Seven LFTs.
I'm a volunteer tester at my children's school and we get tested ourselves every week.
Ironically I am the only member of my family who hasn't had a PCR test. Everyone else has had symptoms requiring testing except me, though they've thankfully all been negative.

I’ve had one, prompted by the Zoe app. Was negative

I am a TA and we have been in school since September. 2 PCR tests over Christmas holidays as required by our LA. 2 LF tests per week as required by school. None for symptoms. So far, all negative.

None

None

None. Only dh had one for loss of taste but it was negative.
None for kids either
