How was the FC1 process like during COVID?

 

It was relatively straightforward. Like the other person said above, it was probably more limited in terms of people on site compared to a normal time. My group only had like 9 people in it. There was some pre-arrival COVID paperwork that you had to abide to, but in terms of the rest of processing I would say it's very similar to a normal FC1. If you had COVID at some point they do some more extensive testing on you, including:

• 2 hours of breathing into a machine to determine lung function/capacity
• Echocardiogram, again takes about 2hrs
• Wear a Holter Monitor for 24hrs, basically a portable EKG
• Wear a portable pulse reader and walk around to get more readings

No one in my group had prior tested positive but this is what I heard from previous people who'd gone through after having it.
