OUR First Minister seems set against asymptomatic tests, she just plain disagreed with Jackie Baillie at First Minister's Questions today (January 28). I am with Ms Baillie on this one.
As an example, a work colleague recently feigned symptoms so that he could be with his girlfriend (showing symptoms) as she was anxious about going for a test. Interestingly, her test result was negative but his was positive. Thinking there must have been a mistake, they repeated the test and got the same result. We still have a busy office due during the lockdown so this was a piece of good fortune for our business and has stopped a bigger outbreak happening.
