A member asked:
Would a nosebleed shortly before covid test affect the result?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A nosebleed shortly before a nasal swab covid test could affect the result. Any blowing, nasal wash or other fluid that "washes" out the nasal passages can remove enough of the virus and cause it to be undetectable during the swab.
