What is it like to get tested for the novel coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: That depends on the test you are taking. President Trump & others have indicated that when tested with a nasal swab to the back of the nasal cavity that it was not comfortable. However, there are currently some tests that use saliva or swab the nasal cavity anteriorly.
