What kind of PCR test does England use for Day 2 testing?
score:3
Accepted answer
My experience in Europe and Canada is that even the professionals don't go nearly as far into the nostrils as the ones collecting samples in e.g. China. It's more nasal than nasopharyngeal (if throat sample is not used).
In any case, you can look at the instruction guide for home PCR tests provided by the UK government. Tests from other providers may be different but should not differ too much. Both throat and nasal swabs are needed (you would usually prefer to do the throat sample first).
Hold the swab in your hand, open your mouth wide and tilt your head back. Gently rub the fabric tip of the swab over both tonsils (or where they would have been). Do this with good contact 4 times on each side. Carefully remove the swab.
Put the same end of the same swab gently into the nostril about 2.5cm or until you feel some resistance.
Some people may still be uncomfortable or unable to perform the test properly, but it is not really dangerous or too difficult for most people, if unpleasant.
