    China denies requiring anal swabs from US diplomats

    snip

    The state department added that it was told by Beijing that the test was given "in error".

    China introduced anal swabs in January. Li Tongzeng, a respiratory and infectious disease doctor in Beijing told state media that anal tests can avoid missing infections as virus traces are detectable for a longer time than the more common Covid tests used in the mouth and nose.

    However he emphasised that these tests were only needed for certain people such as those under quarantine.

    US media claims diplomats were made to undergo anal swabs to test for coronavirus.
