It’s less reliable than the hospital’s PCR test, but probably at least as reliable as the Abbot rapid test.Is there a one hour turn around on private tests in this county? Where can we get those tests? There are no private testing centers, but the hospitals are able to get test results in 90 minutes. Unfortunately a fee is involved when you go to the hospital.What do you think about the study that shows that there is a mouthwash that can kill the COVID virus in 30 seconds?
