Beijing: People must have seen many pictures of themselves taking samples from their nose and mouth for the corona test. The one thing that was noted in the pictures was that people have a lot of trouble by putting a swab inside the nose and mouth. So now the new corona test that China has started is nothing in front of this new arrived problem. China has made it mandatory for every foreigner visiting her to undergo a corona test by taking an anal swab. Due to this test started at China's airports, passengers all over the world are facing a lot of trouble.

China has started this special test for corona from the last week of January. This test has been started on the recommendation of the National Health Commission of China. The commission claims that a swab taken from the anus gives better and accurate results than a sample taken from the nose or throat. According to the British newspaper The Times, now large centers will be set up at Beijing and Shanghai airports for this special testing. Till now these tests are being done only at small centers.

Li Tongjen, director of Beijing's Respiratory Diseases Department, told the Washington Post newspaper in an interview in January. He said that the coronavirus persists longer in the anus than in the throat. However, in the interview, he also said that only those who have been quarantined should be sampled from the anus. This is because it is more inconvenient than taking a sample by the throat.
