She went on to say: ‘It’s probably just tonsils but I’m a good girl. It’s better to be safe than sick.’
Yvie explained that the doctors were taking the details of each patient waiting to get tested.
The 47-year-old eventually had a cotton swab placed into her mouth and then in each nostril.
‘That felt really weird up my nose but it wasn’t bad. I’ve got to go straight home now and pretend I am infected,’ Yvie explained.
