Method is irrelevant..our tests were rt-pcr and we did the nasal swabs ourselves in a drive through (accepted in the EHAS) . Our original tests for St. Thomas were at the same facility and they did the brain tickler but the result was listed as rt-pcr in both cases

Method is irrelevant? Not according to the EHAS website: 12. The original result of the test must be uploaded as soon as possible as part of the health authorization application procedure in order to be processed. Processing can take up to 12 hours. The test result must clearly specify the name of the laboratory or clinic, full name of test subject, type of test administered, name of antigen test, swab date, source of the swab, result date and the result. Incomplete results, hand written or e-mail statements from doctors will not be accepted. (emphasis added) I'm not saying that a test result that lacks "source of swab" will be rejected. I'm merely reporting what the EHAS website states. And, yes, I realize that this is the same website that states that the test must be done within 72 hours, and later states that the time limit is 120 hours ...

There have been many reported cases of inconsistency, including some using and getting accepted with home tests, although that seems to come to a screeching halt. It is a sad situation and appears a lot depends on the agent that reviews your results initially. I really wonder what the level of training has been with the department reviewing the tests.
