Just got a free, no-questions-asked COVID test at Brookside Community Health Center on Washington St in Egleston Sq (no symptoms, just peace of mind).
Amazing staff there, quick process, plus grocery bundles + masks given to those who need it. 😷👍 pic.twitter.com/80uKPYjz2F

And yes, it is the nostril swab test that you may have heard about.
Gotcha. I’ve seen some videos. And I agree completely re: piece of mind.

And contrary to some places around the country where you have to wait days, Quiroga only had to wait 48 hours for his results. He was negative.
48hrs
