I have just been to a care home to visit a relative and had to do a rapid Covid 19 test before I entered. It was just one swab up each nostril then you give it back to the nurse and you wait outside for around 10-15 mins for the result.
I was then given the test back in a silver bag and just 1 red line showing so a negative result.
What's not to say they could of just showed me some random negative result? That test could be anybody's. You do hear about these tests not being reliable and people taking multiple tests and getting different results so why would a care home use these tests if they aren't reliable?
Also most of the staff didn't have masks on and many of those who did were wearing them on their chins. I had to wear a mask but just took it off when I got to my relatives room like other visitors did.
