ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi Gang,

Regarding the 2 PCR Test in sandbox Phuket.

Do they offer a throat swab or only the nasal rape?

I'm asking because I can't breathe through the nose. The inside of the nostrils are grown together.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The PCR tests in Phuket's sandbox program are primarily nasal swabs for adults, while saliva tests are available for children. It is advised to check the FAQ or contact the testing location for specific concerns, especially if nasal breathing is a problem.
