FangedRose Posted January 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2023 There is a separate bin in the cabin bathrooms for medical and sanitary items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jevsy Posted January 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2023 But if the LFTs are negative they don't need separate disposal?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention was made of how to dispose of my self administered positive test last July. I used my common sense and put it into the sanitary/medical bin in my bathroom, as per the signs on said bin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't planning on taking any test kits with us.🤫 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablelamp Posted January 23, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I’m only taking them to protect other passengers. It’s what my friends and I do when we visit each others houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted January 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I have needles to dispose of so I put them in a plastic bag and bring them home with me. I would bring LFT test strips home as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing you want is P&O being aware that you've been testing yourself for Covid!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablelamp Posted January 23, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Oh, I’d not considered of that. I would have thought that P and O would think I was being a. ‘Good and thoughtful passenger’. Not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that P and O would think I was being a. ‘Good and thoughtful passenger’. Not the case? No! Not to be encouraged tbh. Never act in a way to arouse their interest in my opinion. If you felt unwell then possibly test because you want to know, but I'd suggest not having the tests anywhere within sight of P&O. Bag them in the provided bags and take a small plastic box to hide in your luggage and dispose of them ashore or take them home. You're under no obligation to test for covid and therefore I'd say don't unless you genuinely feel unwell with what you think might be symptoms and want to know yourself. Remember if you say anything they will lock you away in your cabin, you can always make the decision not to mix with people and isolate yourself without formalising it, after all its what you would do at home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, although it is a small box (normally) and I expect we have a more substantial need than most others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
