**COVID-19
Testing
Review**
Inappropriate
and
DANGEROUS.
The
WORST
test
facility.
I
have
been
tested
5
times
due
to
my
job,
in
different
cities
and
countries,
and
this
was
by
far
the
WORST
due
to
completely
unprofessional,
dangerous
test
practitioners.
One
star
because
the
registration
desk
is
fantastic
and
very
fast.
It
costs
€100
for
a
private
PCR
test,
which
we
paid
for.
The
front
registration
office
was
organized,
friendly,
and
efficient.
The
waiting
room
for
registration
is
a
large,
ventilated,
airy
congress
hall
with
tall
ceilings.
When
we
arrived
at
16h
on
a
weekday
during
peak
Portuguese
infection
rate,
and
there
was
no
wait.
We
took
a
queue
number
and
sat
in
a
chair
among
dozens
of
empty,
distanced
chairs.
But
here's
where
it
gets
unsafe:
The
test
itself
takes
place
in
a
small,
cramped,
unventilated
room
in
the
very
back.
This
is
dangerous
and
makes
no
sense
because
the
critical
period
when
visitors
must
remove
masks
takes
place
in
the
most
UNSAFE
location.
Not
designed
for
safety
at
all.
The
test
administrator
is
a
very
old
woman
who
evidently
delights
in
causing
pain.
She
did
not
administer
the
PCR
test
properly:
she
will
dig
with
such
force
into
your
nasal
cavity
that
she
will
draw
blood.
THERE
IS
NO
REASON
FOR
THE
TEST
FACILITATOR
TO
MAKE
YOU
BLEED
BY
FORCED
INJURY.
All
parties
who
were
tested
were
left
bleeding
from
this
test
administrator.
She
will
persist
injuring
you
for
up
to
2
minutes.
This
is
unnecessary
and
unsafe.
It
exposes
visitors
who
made
the
grave
mistake
of
choosing
this
testing
location
to
extreme
danger
and
harm
by
injuring
the
visitor
in
the
perfect
way
to
increase
exposure
or
create
an
infection
by
the
cranial
nerves
close
to
the
brain.
The
specimen
gathering
technique
of
the
old
woman
is
to
quite
literally
pin
you
against
the
wall
with
the
q-tip
up
your
nose,
leveraging
the
wall
to
create
such
force
that
it
draws
blood.
This
is
worth
reporting
to
a
medical
board.
It
is
dangerous
malpractice.
In
addition,
all
precautions
taken
at
the
entrance
and
waiting
lobby
are
eliminated
by
forcing
testers
to
line
up
in
a
tight,
unventilated
corner
against
a
specific
wall
that
is
not
sanitized.
The
test
room
"body
guard"
is
very
rote
and
will
not
permit
you
to
queue
anywhere
except
for
the
small,
tight
corner
wall
that
receives
zero
sanitation
care.
For
these
reasons
and
your
safety,
find
another
testing
facility.
There
are
drive-through
options
available.
This
is
not
a
safe
testing
site.
