COVID-19 swabbing procedure

Nasopharyngeal swabs are used to detect respiratory viruses such as RSV or influenza viruses.

A sample of secretions are gathered using a swab (which looks like an elongated Q tip) from the uppermost part of the throat, and then behind the nose.

The procedure can be uncomfortable, and you as you may need to cough, retch or sneeze afterwards.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms call 111 for advice.
