it's a very weird feeling but you'll get
used to it eventually
first thing is to remove any piercings
from your nose
and then to get rid of any snot
clean the area and wash your hands don't
eat or drink
anything in the half an hour beforehand
take the swap out of its packaging
hold it by the handle some tests require
you to swap your mouth
and your nose but some it's just the
nose so check the instructions on your
packet
if it's both then it's mouth first take
the swab and rub
the fabric end over both your tonsils or
where your tonsils would have been
if they've been removed let's ask an
expert we swish it around on it
around five times uh then take it out
and
move it onto your right tonsil swish it
around another five times
take it out and this is the weird bit
you then stick it up one of your
nostrils
you want to go back not up until you
feel resistance
you've got to turn the swab but check
the instructions on your kit for how
many times
it may make you want to sneeze or feel a
bit weird and it's normal
if it makes you want to pull a funny
face then remove it gently
and do not put it down open the little
tube containing liquid and place the
swab inside
now you need to turn it for about 15
seconds when you're done squeeze the
tube so any liquid in the swab comes out
and place this pipette on top and make
sure it's secure
squeeze three drops of the solution onto
the test strip in the circle section
then you need to wait about 30 minutes
again double check the timings on the
packet
you must wait the full amount of time
for the final result
one line next to c means the test is
negative you're free to go to school or
work or wherever
two lines means you've tested positive
for covid
you and everyone you live with needs to
start isolating and you need to book a
confirmation
pcr test for cover 19. if there are no
lines
or one line next to t it means your test
hasn't worked properly
and you need to do it all over again
you
