I did one a few weeks ago. They swabbed four different places at the back of my throat and both nostrils, was quite surprised how thorough they were.Jonty6262 said:Can I ask on this thread I don't want to start a new thread just to ask this.Do they only do one nostril swab on your PCR test along with the both tonsils (or where they were) swab now when you do it at a testing site?
