COVID-19 Mouth Swab Testing Every Monday 3:00-6:00pm Sponsored By City of Half Moon Bay
Mon January 11 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The Curative Covid Mouth Swab Process
NOTE:
The test doesn’t work if you ate or drank
ANYTHING within 20 min of taking the test.
From Coastside CERT Coordinator Cythia Sherrill
Just want to be sure I recognize the other CERTs who are also there every week- Gail Evenari is an intake registrar, Michele Duke and Forrest Wunderlich are outdoor line managers, and Rusty Rosenberg & Sue Hawley are indoor line managers. Sometimes Dan Kenny comes. Carolyn Belknap’s husband, although not a CERT, joins us every week for outdoor line management.
The key takeaways are:
1) to be effective the test must be administered and processed properly and
2) if you get a negative test report but still have symptoms go get a second, different test right away.
Also the test doesn’t work if you ate or drank ANYTHING within 20 min of taking the test.
Finally, most people are predisposed to want a negative result so there are all kinds of conscious and unconscious factors at play that might impact the outcome and a self-administered test is the easiest to sway, which is not a fair test of its efficacy. It must be administered properly.
