There are not details yet on how to process the test on day 10. But the MySOS app now has the ability to upload documents, so I would expect that to be the method of communication.
Cool, thank you.
I think the language is basically setting itself up for adaptation as the policies evolve. A good sign indeed.
The app having an upload function still points to a somewhat unsophisticated paper based approach as opposed to online monitored tests or electronic submission by the testing facility. I believe that infrastructure will be next once, if, this interim step proves successful.
Overall a great step in the right direction.
