Dear PoPville

“DC Health is aware that some TestYourselfDC users have incorrectly received a message”

Ed. Note: Have gotten a few reports like this on our twitter too.

“Dear PoPville,

My husband and I had a Covid exposure over the weekend. We picked up a PCR test at the West End library on Tuesday and submitted the sample in the outside collection bin at 6:02pm on Tuesday. I know this because the library had just closed. Both my husband and I just received the text message below stating our samples weren’t processed because they weren’t received before 8pm, which is not true. Now we’re scrambling to find another testing option before seeing family members this weekend. Really frustrating.”

DC Health reports at 1:37pm:

DC Health is aware that some TestYourselfDC users have incorrectly received a message stating their sample was received after the 8pm cutoff time. Samples are still being processed as expected and we are working with our vendors to make adjustments.
