  2. Need advice and don’t want to start an entire post. I’ve a test appointment tomorrow, pretty sure I have it as I’m a close contact with all the symptoms that the positive contact has. Problem is, the test centre is nowhere near me and I don’t drive.. there used to be one walking distance away and that’s gone now. I can’t get a taxi and risk giving it to the driver and public transport is just as shitty to be doing, so what do I do?? I phoned the HSE and they didn’t know what to say.
