While the swab used in COVID-19 testing might appear to go uncomfortably deep, the chances of injury are extremely low , a new study has found.  And it s certainly less risky than catching the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Researchers in Finland looked at data from the Helsinki University Hospital emergency department from March 1 to September 30 last year, during which time 634,284 tests for COVID-19 were carried out.  Like in New Zealand, the Finns use reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing - which involves sticking a swab deep into the nasal cavity.
