Yep, missed opportunity for CNA drama where her relaxed demeanor turns to shock and disbelief at testing positive, followed by even more drama as she screams in denial while fighting off police summoned to take her away to be forcibly quarantined !! Missed opp. for CNA to have gone viral (excuse the pun) globally 😹
She didn’t push it in deep enough! I was swabbed twice already and each time, I teared up and sneezed a couple of times after the nurse swabbed each nostril. There should be a line on the swab sticks, so that someone will know how deep he/she should push it in his/her nostrils.
For those whose noses are habitually leaky or sneezy( especially in the mornings), they probably can get samples even before dipping the stick deep in.
Nice simple short video. I was adamant that I need a GP to guide me. Got a pack from my supermarket (my local New World supermarket, I live in NZ). 5pk for NZ$30. It def feels weird sticking long objects up our nose, which can without a doubt cause nose bleeds in many people. I tested Positive (1 solid C line, 1 faint T line). So will need to self isolate for 7 days. Upside, still be paid leave for it, and its forecast to rain over the next several days so won't be missing out on much.
0.5-0.75inch..that’s a nasal swab, not the usual nasopharyngeal swab that can give higher count. Definitely more comfortable & easier for most people to self-swab, but less sensitive.
For the Abbott Panbio demonstration, an important part is missing in the video. It was not shown nor explained that the cotton bud has to be inside the long tube of solution and capped for 15 mins before uncapping the bottom white cap and drip 5 drops into test device. After which another 15-20 mins is needed for the test result.
Thanks for sharing the information :) I’ve got more question :) I am traveling from Germany to Singapore next month. Can I use the one available test kit from my country of departure? Or should I buy the Test kit in Singapore upon arrival? Thank you :)
I think you might be overly optimistic. Antigen is never intended to be the benchmark. Anyone infected but fully recovered also carry Antigen. Therefore, If you're tested Covid19 Antigen Positive you would be required to go for the PCR test for validation. But even PCR test is not always accurate. And very often if they're doubtful they do at least 2 to 3 more tests. So can you imagine if all these are repeated for even half of the 5 millions Singapore residents ? The costs if fully beared by the government is humongous. Not to mention the massive amount of manpower and resources sucked up by testing.
My aunt did the self exam and it was a (false) negative because she didn’t put the swab all the way up. It’s better to just go and get tested by someone in the medical field.
Jesus Christ saves, put your faith in Him only. Not man. He's the only one who died for your sins. Repent and turn from your evil ways. He will deliver you from emptiness. He gives eternal life. You don't have to earn it or buy it... His Precious blood paid the price for our sins. But you must fully trust and put your faith in Jesus Christ alone.
@@misterbig9025 friend why would want to earn your way possibly to heaven when someone paid for your ticket? Humanity will never save this world, our hearts are evil. We have to be born-again by faith in Jesus Christ and receive God's Holy Spirit. Only then will the heart be cleanses and only then will things change. This earth will one day be destroyed. I pray you receive the truth. Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY to Eternal life.
I thought ur supposed to insert it in parallel to a straight head? Not upwards/from below like that? Thats how u can get it really far, thats what i saw from how to in american hospital
did you cover up the bottom cap after you drip off the 5 dripping solution onto the test kit while waiting for 15 minutes ? how did you handle that? leave it open?
Reading each comment saying not deep enough clearly did not read the ART test instructions. It's not a PCR test 🤦🏻♀️ u want so deep then go clinic insert until the back of ur throat
V,ery useful video, thanks. I did a self test after watching the video 3 time. The instruction paper says insert the swab 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch into the nostril.
Imagine like the F&B workers or GRAB delivery workers, even cleaners are all of a sudden categorised as "high risk group" hand had to undertake such DIY test. They might even get infected by accidentally introducing germs into their mucous membrane inside their nostril.
@@Nur-zo1mo nope, the results will just come out negative since it's unlikely any virus particles were picked up. That's why this is a very unhelpful video. Potentially could cause others to have false negative results.
@@chanelnumbers1303 look at the instructions for the test look how far it says to put it up, I feel it should go as far up as where you feel nasal pressure
Good efforts in showing the test. I feel @CNA should also show proper way to discard the test kit post testing. I feel that it is a bio hazard and should not go into the normal rubbish chute.
The MTF is prevaricating. It says people should swab themselves regularly. At $12 a kit, does MTF really expect the majority of people to do it even once a month, let alone regularly? MTF panel members "need to see a psychiatrist", if we may quote Mr LKY.
u think they so good give u vac for free ? they dont expect the majority of ppl to do it themselves, thats why now asking employers to do the dirty work. many companies are now starting to ask their employees to test, even if fully vaccinated.
She did it wrongly, not deep enough to poke into the nose! The correct one is very deep until you feel you want to sneeze and cant talk while doing it!
hiaz....now not only SG have so much F.Trash (: now got Mask Trash (: now got DIY Swab Test Trash+small disposable plastic bag to bag it (: now face n nose so itchy
Dear CNA, I think it is irresponsible to present the self test kit like a UA-camr doing a review. Please do get a professional to guide the presenter in doing the test. I do not think the presenter insert the swap deep enough to reach the posterior of nasopharynx. This presentation will most likely give the public a wrong impression of what a swap test is like. And as a news network, it is important to provide a more accurate info and not just do a kind presentation like a youtuber review
@@KenLohwh even if it’s mid-turbinate swap, its not as simple (in my opinion). Still it is always better to have a professional to guide through, especially with a video demo. And I do think CNA as a News agent could put in ‘more’ effort into this. As you mentioned, it’s not sure if this swap is mid-turbinate swap. If that is the case, a journalist could have requested and enquire for more informations to share with public, isn’t it?
@@yeongw Tested out myself with a kit that I have. CNA's video is about right, except that the swab stick should be held horizontally. Other than that, the video quite reflect the kit's instruction verbatim - ~2cm deep or when you feel some resistance inserting the swab. I didn't know that there's a entrance at the back right above the nostril where the swab stick must go through to reach the mid-turbinate. Don't tell the kids. God knows what they'll insert in their's for fun if they know - or worse, in yours while you're sleeping!!!🤣
@@KenLohwh yeah. I do think that ‘it’s about right’ is not good enough for a news media. Not blaming them or anything. Just that I think they could have done a better job as a news media to present such informations.
Wah doing it for myself I can’t leh. I’ll freak out. 😰😰😰😰 actually, the times when I did my swab test, it’s so much easier if you just breathe in deep thru your nose once the stick enters. It just goes straight in without any force. It’s not so painful. If you let the swabbed push in and dig, wah damnnnnnnn pain. It hurts even more when your nose is dry for that morning.
How funny would it be if the tried it on camera and it came out positive
Probably we won't see it on UA-cam. Wahahaha.

Worse will be, first kit is negative, second is positive.
First test looks like two lines to me
hope that the girls in geylang will swipe themselves to protect Singaporeans.
If the swabs has markings (min to max) on the swab, it will at least give some guidance to how far you need to push the swab in, that will be nice.
Not really considering everyone has different sized noses. Plus why would it be remotely necessary when you can feel how far in it is
@@calador1918 make sense, you are right. Thank you.
She didn’t push it in deep enough! I was swabbed twice already and each time, I teared up and sneezed a couple of times after the nurse swabbed each nostril. There should be a line on the swab sticks, so that someone will know how deep he/she should push it in his/her nostrils.
Ya. It was much deeper haha and more .. invasive 😢😢
With these same tests or was it the MOH style one?
So need to go in deeper in order to get more accurate reading?
Yes as far as it could somehow tickle your brains. That will be uncomfortable so the nurses need to be nice and gentle. Children couldn't take it.
No one is pushing that carcinogen stick deep up my nose.
This is very very informative. Really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Is the cotton bud supposed to go into the nostril a lot further, for the test to be accurate?
Yes
No. It’s a rapid not a pcr.
For those whose noses are habitually leaky or sneezy( especially in the mornings), they probably can get samples even before dipping the stick deep in.
You should also show 2 lines how is it look like

That isn't deep enough! You can still see the swab tip going in and out of the nostril.
It’s a rapid not a pcr
ITS A RAPID CHILE
@Diridiculous this is ART conducted by common people, NOT pcr that usually done by medical worker.
Didn’t look that deep. Looks more comfortable than the ones before.
Should goto very back of nostrils to be accurate like they do in testing centre's
@@Matowix that’s what I expected these tests to be like….they don’t seem to be that invasive.
Because she's doing it wrongly. She's just digging nose on national TV. This is a terrible demo

How to test test kit is genuine?
Lol this lady said she was tearing up and far enuff. But i could see see the bud sneaking out of her nosetrils. Cmmon
Suddenly,all people can become the microbiologist😂😂😂😂😂
She didnt even tilt her head. Not even close to clinic swab test.
Do we have to dig our nose first to prevent any solid particles from getting mixed into the buffer solution? :-P
Typically, the answer is no, but u can still blow your nose with a tissue if u want more accurate results
But, it's good to follow the instruction manual for accurate results!
