Single q-tip test tubes still exist. However, I don't know of any testing kiosks that always use them (e.g. my favorites usually give me my own test tube, but when they are running low, they switch to the 10/tube thing).
When there's a compound lockdown, do other residents know who had the positive test, either officially (notice posted on door like IIRC Singapore did) or through the grapevine (lack of confidentiality)?
