Hello hope your having a good bank holiday, i am due to have a covid swab test tomorrow afternoon, but i have found online a lot of people say its quite invasive, due to me having Anastrozole my nose is very dry and im worried that the nose swab will cause my nose to bleed, has anyone had a Covid saliva test instead please, many thanks for any advice.
A someone whose done it twice for unrelated reasons I can say it should be fine! They also do the tonsils and it is a little tickly but fine!
