Re: Free Covid-19 test - Paphos and Polis from Monday 16 Nov
Does anyone know whether this 'offer' is only for the one week or will it be extended to cover the whole of the present lockdown period.

Just read a report from a lady who had the free test this morning in Paphos. You complete a form giving your name, date of birth and phone number.
All very organised and social distancing observed. Results sent to your phone in approx 24 hours.

A friend of ours had the same experience in Polis this morning, an orderly 25 min wait.

When I went down to the square this afternoon there were only a few people waiting.Filled in my form as instructed. Had the test while standing on some steps outside the building. All done very efficiently. I was told that the test we are all having is the Rapid Antigen test and that my results would arrive by text to my mobile, by the end of the day.
