Australia; WA
A study conducted across 40 Western Australian schools has found that COVID testing using a combined nose and throat swab was well tolerated by kids as young as four, with 71 per cent of students reporting no or minimal discomfort. The students and staff were tested three times over the course of four months using a less invasive method that involved swabbing them across the back of the throat then the same swab was inserted into one nostril. The study found that almost all of those who were asked to participate a second time agreed, and there was a high level of tolerance for repeat procedures.
