{I POSTED THIS ON MY FB PAGE YESTERDAY AND FEEL TH ${I POSTED THIS ON MY FB PAGE YESTERDAY AND FEEL THE NEED TO SHARE IT HERE AS WELL AFTER RECEIVING SO MANY MESSAGES} Who's report will you believe? I'd love to share a testimony about a recent experience with Hamadi Clinical Laboratories in Claremont. I started writing this on our flight back to Kuwait on 2 January 2021. A rescheduled flight. We landed in South Africa on 18 December 2020 and our flight back to Kuwait was booked for Friday 1 January 2021, 18h20. Now, when entering Kuwait, a negative PCR test of 96 hours is required. My friend and I planned to get our Covid-19 test done on Wednesday 30 December 2020, 2 days prior to our scheduled return to Kuwait. Said friend went to Hamadi Clinical Laboratories on Wednesday morning and I went to get tested there that evening around 6pm. (I did not want to spend part of my already-short holiday in a long queue and heard that the queues at Hamadi weren't long. In addition, we were advised to go there in the evening. Hamadi also happens to be one of the cheapest (R780) options on a list of recommended testing stations provided by Emirates.) Thursday, 31 December, just after 1pm, my friend called me in a panic as her PCR test came back POSITIVE. Now, if you know this friend, you would know that she is probably one of the most cautious people around. We were the only 2 passengers on our flight to SA wearing Hazmat suits thanks to her! She had no symptoms at all and couldn't understand why her test stated that she was POSITIVE. Nevertheless, I tried to calm her, ensuring her that everything would be okay. I called our head in Kuwait to ask him the way forward as she obviously wouldn't be in time for the start of our new term on 4 January 2021, due to the regulated 2-week quarantine. He assured me that the school wouldn't penalise her as long as she is able to teach online from her home. This, whilst I didn't get my test results yet. We also needed to look at rescheduling her flight due to the delay that her quarantine would cause. In the meantime she got a company to fumigate the 2 homes she stayed at during her holiday at her own cost. *CONTINUE READING IN THE COMMENTS* #covid_19 #coronavirus$
