Walking Like A Penguin After Anal Swab For COVID-19 In China

 

The Chinese authorities began using a new swab test by collecting samples for coronavirus from the anus.

However, this method began to make many Chinese people very nervous, panicked and scared after watching the viral video. This video is widely shared in China, which allegedly shows people walking like penguins outside a clinic in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province after receiving an anal swab test for COVID-19.  

However the Chinese authorities, have labeled this viral video was ‘fake’ and unrelated to the COVID-19 test. They had convinced the Chinese citizen that they would not walk like the penguins after undergoing this procedure. They say this method is used by those at high risk and the swab will goes as around 3-5 cm only, and no more than 10 seconds to complete. Authorities also revealed that patients will not experience such discomfort after undergoing a swab test.
