Hey all. Has anyone seen any saliva COVID tests on their travels recently? Kidcalhoon2 just can't do the nasal tests... I've checked almost all chemists in the Thornbury, Preston, reservoir, Brunswick area....

I have some but nowhere near you unfortunately. The brand I have us called All Test oral fluid test if that helps your search.

I have some. I used one, but found it a real hassle compared to the nasal/throat swab ones. About 5 left. Am free this afternoon if you want to meet up for a handover.

Try contacting the Treasury Pharmacy in Collins St in the cbd. That's where I got mine from.

Oh that's very thoughtful and kind of you thanks. My mum came through with the goods, she cleaned out a chemist over in Hawthorn and dropped them over, so all good. Kidcalhoon2 tested and is somehow negative.

Great news. Just message me if you find you need the tests in the future. I understand they're a bit more durable than the swab ones.
