COVID-19 results need to be given with care

Sam Mabey Puttock Staff nurse, Wythenshawe Hospital, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

I work on a drive-through pre-op COVID-19 swab nursing team at a district general hospital. We see between 25 and 40 patients each day for their test, 72 hours before admission for their surgical procedure.
