I work at a coronavirus drive-thru testing site in New York. Here's what a 12-hour shift looks like. (via CNBCMakeIt)
After giving it some thought, I decided to do it. My husband wasn't happy about it. I have five kids, including a 10-year-old son.
Things have been changing rapidly in terms of how the tests are administered. But the drive-thru approach is a way to test people so they don't walk into an emergency room and infect other people. Once a car pulls up to the testing zone, they're asked to roll down the windows. Each person, while still remaining in their seats, tips their head back as I conduct a series of nasal and throat swabs.
Workers in protective suits check id's of patients as they arrive by car at the State's First Drive Through COVID-19 Mobile Testing Center at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle, New York March 13, 2020.When I get home, I sanitize everything and take a shower. I do whatever I can to make sure there's no risk of anyone getting contaminated. Each time someone enters the house, I tell them to wash their hands and then clean the door handles with disinfectant spray.
