87.4% of those tested were negative!

Getting bored of typing this but....

If you have a fever, frequent cough, loss of taste or smell or confirmed close contact with a known carrier... You will be tested. If on the other hand you just want a test because you think you may have the virus.. you won't.

If you want to satisfy your curiosity and waste your own time... pay for a test yourself.
