You do the test on Monday, mail it off and then possibly don’t get the results for four days which takes you to Friday. By which time, if you’re positive, you’ve potentially infected tens if not hundreds of people.
Yes, it's medical theatre.

The e-mail didn't mention the exemption at all. The online registration didn't mention it at all. The page on arrival testing doesn't mention it (although the other page linked by [MENTION=10103418]analogueman[/MENTION] does).
The first indication I had that I didn't have to do the test was the phone call.
After selecting that option, the recording told me I needed to keep proof of said positive test in case they asked me for it.
But at no point has there been any opportunity, let alone request, for me to supply such documentation. I've heard nothing since that phone call.
