So its so contagious you need a mask to stop the spread but to test for it they need to stick a swab up your nose nearly to your brain?
Something doesnt add up there.


Sterile swab held in gloves by a person wearing a mask, gloves, and gown. Once it has been up your nose it goes into a sterile tube that seals, and is opened at the lab by someone similarly protected.


yes but why does it have to go so far up your nose? If its so contagious why not just a swab of the mouth?

Simple enough: to achieve accuracy...
A saliva test is not very accurate or reliable, and to be most accurate you need to sample the thick mucus up in the top of the nasal cavity. Usually the back of the throat is swabbed too to get a sample if the muck trickling down into the throat from the top of the nose at the back,

With the hardest lockdown and more fines than anywhere else, HTF did Victoria let this get away from themselves?
It couldn't possibly be just from one Bali like hotel
