What do you mean by "swabbing"?
For the avoidance of doubt, the term swab is of Dutch origin and means a mop, as in 'swabbing down the desks'. In this context, it meant using such materials as recommended and specifically sold for the purpose for the destruction of virus material on hard surfaces. I think the term 'swab' has been re-purposed, as words often are, by specialists to mean something slightly different, in this case, taking medical samples for analysis.
In this fast-moving scenario, as of 23rd March, the date of my previous post, we were following the approved practices. Actually, that was the last day we flew anyway and since then we've ceased all operations, in accordance with current requirements.
