A nurse said that they go as far up the nose as they can and when I said 5 inches? she said yes. So conflicting information from the NHS HM government video and those who are actually doing the test. I will try to get home testing kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy64 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 yes having a home test is better than having some ham fisted nurse stick it up your nose, if you have to have it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
