A visitor at my home gave everyone a scare when she announced that her boyfriend was self isolating because a co-worker of his tested positive for COVID-19. We bullied her into getting a test yesterday morning at Mt Sinai and she got the results this morning - fortunately she was negative. I got a test at Women's College Hospital yesterday - apparently there was a line up in the morning, but when I went in the afternoon I was able to go straight in. It took a total of ten minutes from the time I arrived until I left. There are two swabs: the swab for the throat was ticklish, and the nasal swab was painful for about thirty seconds and made my eyes water. Results take one to two days. The test was completely free, and anyone can get one whether they have OHIP or not, whether they are legal residents or not. I think all sex workers should get a test at least once every two weeks, as well as the active hobbyists. Here is a link to testing centres: Covid 19 assessment centres
