What’s it like to be tested for COVID-19?

Last month, I came down with a cold … or something. In this situation, one thought keeps popping up: “Is it COVID-19?” So, I gave BC’s COVID-19 app a try. After I entered my symptoms (sore throat, fatigue, and headache), the app told me to get a COVID-19 test and self-isolate.

COVID-19 positive: Now what?

Your results may be coming to you faster than you think. There are now many options for how you receive test results. With the BCCDC’s (BC Centre for Disease Control) new option to get results by text message or SMS, there is a good chance that you will read your COVID-19 test results off your phone.
