Open wide 😳🍑

China has started using anal swabs to test people who are believed to be at a high risk of catching Covid-19, according to state TV.

Such tests will help increase the detection rate of people infected with Covid-19, as traces of the virus linger longer in the anus or faeces than in the respiratory tract, Li Tongzeng, a senior doctor from Beijing’s You’an Hospital, told CCTV. However, CCTV said on Sunday that anal swabs will not be used as widely as other methods such as nasal and throat swabs, as the technique was ‘not convenient’.
