    I did the test today. What the video says its basically what I did. Didnt really hurt but it didnt feel nice either very umm......uncomfortable and weird af. For my nose I went up to the bone of my nose and that's it didnt go too far, for me it was ticklish and uncomfortable and weird and I teared up. For my mouth It was hard to control my tongue to the point i had to hold it but still found it hard . I think I did touch the stick with my tongue but the test came out fine I didnt have to do it again. The test overall was no big deal I did wait like 30 mins for the results, I came out negative(idk how cause I've been sneezing for like 3 months lol) it is a bit annoying tho to do it like every 2 weeks. Also it's funny seeing others do it lol

    When booking the courier by phone take note that you cannot do this after 6pm not as stated in the advice booklet until 11pm. I hope the results do not get lost as my granddaughter's did! A point for the authorities to note this insistence on having a mobile phone number does not sit well with those old fogies of us who do not have a mobile phone and do not wish to have one.

    I have to do the test tomorrow for the government testing. I have no extra tube to put the first tube in, I have a biohazard bag and the instructions on it are a bit contradictory. I was supposed to watch this video for clarification . What you show is nothing like the instructions in the leaflet. There is no form to fill in. This has been a waste of time. Now I am off to look for better information.

      Did mine yesterday. It has another bag to put in instead of extra tube. Just read the booklet inside. It said both tonsils 10 seconds and one nostril 10-15 seconds about one inch up. managed mine, some coughing, sneezing, watery eyes after. did for someone else. disaster - couldn't get anywhere near inside throat - touched tongue etc. didn't bother sending it back.. its not easy if the person has a gag reflex or cannot find/has never looked at tonsils... I have had mine out so spent many times looking at/know exactly my mouth and reduced reflex..

Ask yourself why not? I am going to post a couple of videos that show clearly what is being done at test centres !!

    I fined it descasting that you use the swap in your mouth first and then the same swap in your nostrils . They should be two swaps and you could introduce them in the same tube. Given if you dont have COVID you could have an infection in your throat and then you spred it to your nostrils.
