A Man Tested For COVID-19 Accidentally Swallow The Entire Swab Stick

A man in the United Kingdom tested for COVID-19 accidentally swallowed a whole swab stick. The shocked man must have visited the Hull Royal Infirmary after the incident.

For those who do not know, COVID swab sticks are usually six inches long and like a giant cotton bud with material on top of a six-inch thin plastic or polystyrene handle.

They are used to get into the mouth and swab fluids from the throats of people who may have coronavirus.

It is not clear whether the patient tried to test himself or had swallowed the stick after visiting the test station. According to Hull Royal Infirmary, they “could not comment” after the incident on Tuesday.

Although there are serious problems while running and processing COVID tests, with many unable to make an appointment, it is very rare for them to make a mistake.
