A Harrogate woman has opened up about her coronavirus testing experience to alleviate fears about the process.
Susan Bowers Scarre, a social media marketing professional, went to the testing centre in the car park on Dragon Road, Harrogate yesterday.
She did not have the usual covid symptoms but was asked to get a test as part of a covid research study.
The Stray Ferret has previously reported people having difficulty booking tests but Susan said the entire experience lasted about five minutes and was straightforward.
It wasn't the most pleasant experience: Susan had to swab her tonsils and nostrils but it was soon over.
Once finished, she put the swab into a vial, which then went into a bag and the bag went into a box on the way out.
