I wouldn't think its possible . we went in there and same for all of us. he swabbed our tongue and then put the swab item back in its cover and threw it to the side and put the paperwork with my email , passport on the pile with the others. halve hour later i received the negative PDF file. Obviously its supposed to be the back of the throat etc. So no one i guess wants a positive. But i did go away as the others in my party feeling like it was 40 euros for a worthless test.

When I had my test done there last week he swabbed my nose. Thought he was going to come out of my eye!

I went el raso but he put the swab up my nose and said no point in throat swab as its all connected to throat. He then put it in fluid and did same as lateral flow for 5 mns then came negative.
Our neighbours and two of our friends had the test carried out at El Raso last week and both had the back of their throats swabbed. They all had a female assistant, so it obviously depends on who is carrying out the test, although it should be consistent.
I agree but he told me only does noses.
Yep. He poked it under my tongue I thought he was going to burst the skin and that was it. 40€ for a bit of paper. I had my own lateral flow test but of course you are not allowed to do it yourself because you can't be trusted to do it properly.
