Alternative Covid testing

Is there an alternative for people who can’t tolerate the swab. My daughter WILL NOT swab!

  • Try talking to your GP.  The lateral flow swab tests are the quick cheap option suitable for most people, but I understand that NHS staff are now being tested regularly with a 'spit in a tube' type test.  I may have that wrong, but in view of her difficulty the GP might point you to an alternative.
