OP
Lots of conflicting answers lol Can anyone link a source that states whether its acceptable or not? ( Just out of curiosity as I've already went for a non self administered test)
I think some countries now specifically state whether it’s acceptable or not, I used one last year coming from the US but the actual sample was done with a dr over zoom then sent to a lab.
