Once the patient's nose is cleared, the health-care worker inserts a long, flexible swab into the patient’s nostril to collect a sample from the depths of their sinuses.
The swab goes quite deep — all the way back to the upper part of the throat behind the nose called the nasopharynx. To ensure that the sample contains enough material, the swab must remain in place for several seconds. Although unpleasant, widespread testing is considered one of the most effective defences against the pandemic.More than 500,000 tests have been administered across Canada andBritish Columbia: 59,185
Are you trying to scare people now ? So they won't get tested, then report that we are not testing enough ?
Oh man, really? Right down the snoz? Fuck me.
Geezus....i drives my forefinger up further than that😄
Weird how if you breath on someone you can pass the virus but they need to dig into your BRAIN to TEST YOU?
It can’t be worse than a prostate biopsy where they send a three foot garden hose with a 100 watt lightbulb on the end of it up your penis. At least that’s what it felt like.
Hey ctv, you fail at human anatomy. No human is shaped like that
Nope. Never going to do it! My body my choice
😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
I got a blood test 🤔
Some Pilots and truckers have this done a few times a week. So if they ask, let them use your bathroom and make them a really good lunch.
Can’t they just do a blood test?
That is the worst nasal cavity picture ever. Please go offline and think of how you research pictures again.
What about the 15 mins results testing that Ottawa brought out? What happened to using those for people of Ontario? It’s amazing how important testing methods get swept under the rug because WHO doesn’t like them. Cause it’s not their methods. Sad.
The image shown (and the depth of the swab) is FAR DIFFERENT than the video of the man have both nose and mouth swabs. VERY different.
Can't they just scan you with an iPhone or something. This seems very low tech.
Need to report up to date testing methods!
Mine didn’t go that far - it was nothing really.
Test aren't that harsh. Regular nasal and throat swab in NS.
My ear, nose and throat Dr sends a scope all the way down to the back of my tongue. Unpleasant yes but it only last a few mins .
I'll pass on that test , thank's anyway 😳
USA has better ones that don't go all the way in
But this kind thing is even scary than the name self hmmm 🤔
That looks horrendous
H*ck no.
