There is very genuine concern that there are a lot of false negatives reported when people self-administer the swab.

When the swab is placed up the nose, it must be placed quite deeply to the point where the person feels very uncomfortable and starts to tear-up.

When people self-administer, they tend to not place it far enough up the nose.

It seems IAG is considering challenging the quarantine. Any legal eagles have any idea how that will go or is it just noise?
