A Marin County family is spending big bucks to COVID test every guest before their New Year's Eve party.
MARIN COUNTY, Calif. -- With New Year's just a few days away, Andrew Angus and his family are determined to throw a party at their Marin County home.In order to keep themselves and their guests safe, Angus says they'll be testing everyone with PCR tests at their house hours before their Friday night gathering.
It's possible, he says, thanks to an at-home test processing machine that he bought several months ago."You put the cartridge in. It heats up. Then you get the sample from your nose, stick it into the cartridge and it syncs with my phone," Angus said. The process takes about 20 minutes in total- a time frame much faster than waiting for PCR tests done at regular testing sites."We wouldn't do this if we just had rapid antigen tests. But, with a PCR test, it's going to be better at asymptomatic infection and early infection," Angus said.
