Is it possible for someone to master the pain of the Covid-19 swap test, especially when the medic is taking samples from your nose?

Honestly, I thought that doing it the third time will be less painful, but it was still the same pain in the nose with some level of discomfort for the rest of the day.

Covid-19 swap test is one of the procedures to enter our customer's site and immediately after it, you proceed to your quarantine room until the test result is out. This normally takes 3 to 4 days. It also depends on the customer. Some customer has a 14 days compulsory quarantine before the test. Within these 14 days, your temperature will be monitored daily and on the last day, you will undergo a series of a medical fitness test in addition to the COVID-19 test.

The nature of my job is site-based and with the pandemic, customers have to find a way to keep their plants running even with the additional cost of quarantine and the swap test.

Let's hope that I will eventually get used to it pending when the vaccine is out.
