  1. I found VTRUST which is a nasal swab kit.  Are there any brands that are specifically saliva/throat swabs?

     

    Reason I ask is I have minor cold/covid like symptoms and recently arrived here.  Negative PCR test although I was not impressed that the tester only did one nostril and not very deep.  Used a VTRUST and also got a negative.  But some medical professionals are of the opinion now that nose swabs don't detect omicron variant as well as saliva/throat swabs.  Some recommend using a self test to swab the throat instead of the nose - this seems less than ideal if not recommended by the manufacturer but I may try it with a VTRUST if I can't find a saliva test.  Isolating now just in case.
