Anterior Nasal Swab Testing

Step 1:

First blow your nose.

Step 2:

Insert the foam side of the swab approx. 3/4 of an inch into your nostril (stop before the bridge of your nose). Begin to swirl the swab around the nostril, hitting every surface. Do this for 15 seconds and then repeat in the other nostril.

Step 3:

Break the swab’s handle on the score mark, and place the swab tip-side down into the tube you were provided.

Step 4:

Close your tube and return it to the drop box located at the Campus School building on the corner of Brady and University.
