A member asked:
Been around my dad and he's exhibiting possible covid symtoms-- runny nose, sneezing, headache. we both need to get tested, but i have a problem with nose bleeds, so i'd probably bleed alot with the swab. what can i do?

Don't push the swab high up in the nasal passages. Saliva can also be tested but swab the throat before you swab the nose.

A saliva test is as good as a nasal swab, no bleeding. A blood test only detects antibodies. A PCR test is the most accurate.
