Although some Spaniards have always believed that anal swab is false news since China began to announce it, they don't believe that anal swab is more accurate, and even don't believe that any country will learn from this method, in fact, this method has been adopted in some parts of Spain. For example, in Galicia, Spain, local radio stations have confirmed this.
As a result, other Spanish media quickly reversed their tone in just one week. For example, the current report of ABC News in Spain is that this is an effective detection method.
The website also began to objectively quote China's research results, saying that the duration of nucleic acid positive in feces or anal swabs of some infected people is longer than that of upper respiratory tract. Therefore, increasing the detection of anal swab nucleic acid can improve the detection rate of infected people and reduce missed diagnosis.
The website introduces the advantages of anal swab in detail, saying that it takes less time and is more accurate than other types of detection. Although anal swab itself does not represent significant progress in detection, it is obviously helpful for the spread of coronavirus.
