The cost @May 22 2021 is 346MXN.
I was not permitted to take a photo. 1 nostril was swabbed ie a stick shoved quite a way up.
I am told that 1 line on the result gizmo is negative, 2 is positive.
I sit and wait and am informed the result is negative.
I also asked some questions. The Antigen Test is a rapid test and does NOT tell me if I have had Covid-19 in the past. The Antigen test tells you if I am negative or positive right now.
Notes:
You pay when you make the appointment.
The appointment is sent via email
When you go for the test, you need to show the receipt of payment and show your id/passport.
Photos are not permitted.
The result is available within 10 minutes.
You get a signed printout with the date and exact time printed on it.
A PDF with the result is sent via email.
Comparing the real result to the fake result that is circulating, the fake pdf really does look fake. Looks like a 5-year-old kid did it! The real test result has a QR code on it that contains your passport number! #justsaying #dotherightthing
