This isn't the typical scenario in the Bay Area where testing centers are walk-in vs. drive through. To ensure testing consistency, swabbing is done by a healthcare worker (e.g., nurse) not by the person being tested. This is my experience across 4-counties here, San Francisco city included.

Net-net, COVID-testing privacy isn't a laudable consequence of the US's car culture, at least not everywhere in the US.

I know of at least 1 drive-through testing center, at the San Jose Fairgrounds. There may be more, but not sure.

Though there the testers/nurse puts the swab in the nose.
