    Willow12, as a matter of interest, would you mind telling me if you have been sent two swabs or only one for the test ? Thank you.

    Sorry to hear you are showing symptoms must be worrying for you 

    Fingers crossed it isnt positive and you start to feel better 

    @Oxonlady I have had few tests as I am part of national office for statistics survey and there has only ever been 1 swab which you swab back of throat and inside both nostrils

    Hi Janer1967, I was sent the test kit by a research study but I was appalled that there was only one swab. I rang them and told them that there's no way I would do it, it's too unhygienic!
    I get infections very easily, so I would not risk transferring pathogens from one area to another!
    But that's just my view. Other people may not have much of a risk.

    @willow12 Good luck.  You are doing the right thing getting tested.  Did you have any problems getting the test?  

    Keep us updated and I know it's easier said than done, but try to relax  <3

    I agree @Oxonlady lady I was very surprised when it was just one . It didnt bother me but can understand it would be an issue for lots of people and rightly so

    I know you only get 1 swab I know ppl may disagree with this but your ears nose and throat are all linked so I don't see a problem with it
