More than a million Beijing residents undergoing coronavirus testing amid a fresh outbreak have been administered anal swabs, which are considered more accurate and raise the chances of detecting COVID-19, said a Chinese disease specialist.
The key districts of Daxing and Dongcheng began a mass testing drive on Friday after a nine-year-old boy tested positive for the more virulent strain of the virus, first discovered in London and the southeast of England last month.
Health authorities in the Chinese capital said they were aiming to screen more than two million people in 48 hours. Among them, around 1.6 million inhabitants in Daxing were to be given antibody tests, as well as throat, nasal and rectal nucleic acid swabs.
Anal swabs have been in use since last year, including in the major port city of Shanghai, but the method is so far reserved for individuals in potential COVID-19 hotspots, according to an infectious disease expert quoted by China's state broadcaster CCTV on Saturday.

A lot of people are walking out after the test without paying because the doctor said there was no feces.
It’s like a couple of teenagers sitting in front of the computer saying, “Hey, let’s see if we can get everyone to wear TWO masks...”
“Yeah, yeah... hey Beavis, wait... better idea. Let’s see if we can get them to stick swabs up their butts!”
gives new meaning to “swabbing the poop deck”
I wonder if the swab they use is an “Anal Log” type? That has got to hurt.
Yes. That was already established in 2020.

From what I understand, they push the nasal swab so far into your nose they could very well be swabbing your anus.
Feels better than shoving something 3 inches up my nose I bet. LOL!
“Acid swabs”?
For your behinder?
What will the Chinese give us next?
Flame thrower headache medicine?
No problem, I've got it covered.
I know Jim recently admonished us to clean up our act some. (BTW thank you for the reminder JR)... But I just have to say “Oh h**l no!” I’m not signing up for this.
Anal swabbing
Pete Buttgig just tested negative for Covid. He took three tests just to make sure. And that was yesterday. Four swabbing’s today. Still negative.
He plans on 5 anal swabs tomorrow. He wants to be very sure.
Its bad enough the nose swab up to the freakin brain, but now an anal probe basically, HELL NO! I’ll take my chances with the damn virus
Especially if they get them mixed up....and, out of order 😱
Its bad enough the nose swab up to the freakin brain, but now an anal probe basically, HELL NO!
= = =
Gonna need a longer probe to teach the brain from there.
Well, not for Dems.
“admonished us to clean up our act”
An article with a title like that is hard to resist putting up for the comments that will follow.
I agree, Petey will have one @n@l swab test per day! When the home test kits become available, Peter and Chasten can swab test each other every day.
One can’t be too careful, you know. Dr. Faux Chee would definitely approve.
And here I was thinking it was spread by droplets from coughing or sneezing and all along it was the use of public bathrooms for a dump...we’re doomed! LOL !😂
Sounds like a job for the new guy.
Man, I didn't need to see that right before trying to go to sleep.
The plug on the right bothers me. The ridges -- that's gotta hurt going in -and- coming out. And that protuberance on the left, presumably that's for a woman, to tickle her fancy? What if it gets turned around?
How the h3ll do you keep from transferring... oh, never mind.
Guess ya learn somethin' ev'ry day, huh.
