As the COVID-19 cases continue to rise, several public and private companies have begun to proactively have all their staff tested.
Among these are media houses who have a high risk of exposure given the nature of their job.
It is for this reason that NTV Uganda’s Deejay Bryan recently got tested for COVID-19.
Talking about the experience, Bryan told his fans on social media that the COVID-19 test is scarier than an HIV test.
“COVID test is more scary than an HIV Test, atleast HIV you can track your way abouts,” Bryan stated.
According to Wikipedia, the COVID-19 test procedure involves a nasopharyngeal swab. A nasopharyngeal swab is a method for collecting a clinical test sample of nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat.
To collect the sample, the swab is inserted in the nostril and gently moved forward into the nasopharynx, a region of the pharynx that covers the roof of the mouth.
The swab is then rotated for a specified period time to collect secretions, then the swab is removed and placed into a sterile viral transport media, which preserves the sample for the subsequent analysis.
We will keep you posted.
