There are also rumors circulating on social media that coronavirus tests can cause harm.
A nasal swab test cannot harm the brain claiming to have affected the protective layers of the brain.
This idea is misleading.
Obstacles to the brain
There are many protective layers to protect the brain. The first is the neck. In addition, the brain is surrounded by many protective membranes and fluids.
The blood vessels that meet the brain are surrounded by layers of cells that prevent blood molecules from reaching the brain while allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach the brain.
A nasal swab requires breaking down several layers of tissue and drilling a bone to reach a layer that protects the brain from the blood.
Without great force, the swab cannot reach the barrier that protects the brain from the blood. This is possible only when many layers and bones are broken. Dr. Liz Coulthardt, a member of the Neuroscience Association in the UK, said: "We did not see any complications due to the COVID-19".
A nasopharyngeal or nasal swab tests the presence of coronavirus on the inside of the nose and is a technique for obtaining samples by the swab.
In the UK, the same nasal and throat swabs are commonly used to diagnose COVID-19 in people.
Dr. Tom Wingfield of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine says: 'I have received swabs from many patients while working in the hospital and I also receive swabs myself every week as a volunteer involved in an experiment. ۔ It is not uncommon to have something so high in your nose. Swabs can make you itchy or tickle.
These false claims began appearing on Facebook accounts belonging to the United States on July 6, and some of the people were asked to refuse to test.
Some of them have been called 'liars' by fact-checking organizations on Facebook.
We found graphics published in Romanian, French, Dutch, and Portuguese, each with thousands of people responding.
Testing kits will not get you the virus
News about contaminated testing kits is being misleadingly presented as if you could be infected with the corona virus.
In fact, the headlines about contaminated kits actually refer to a report by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that tests were ineffective due to laboratory errors in the early days of the epidemic. ۔
So this does not mean that you can get tested for the virus.
A post was made on Facebook this week from the fan page of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which has been shared more than 3,000 times. This post links to a story about contaminated testing kits and says: 'Do you want COVID-19? That's how you get this disease!
This full article in the Washington Post, published in June, details a federal review that found that the CDC's testing program was delayed due to poor testing kits and laboratory procedures. Nowhere in this article does it say that poor testing kits can infect patients.
There is a fee for reading this article by the Washington Post, so most people think the headline of this article is out of context.
Fact-checking American and Indian groups have also disproved baseless claims that the Coronavirus is part of the Gates Foundation's conspiracy to implant microchips in patients. These false claims have been shared thousands of times on Facebook and are similar to the conspiracy theories that microchips will be installed in people under the guise of a proposed vaccine program.
There is no evidence that Microchips has any such program linked to Corona, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has denied the allegations.
Why can't you just breathe on the swab?
A meme is being shared which says: 'If the COVID-19 is really found in your breath, why can't you breathe on the swab? Why do they need to put swabs to the tip of their noses? '
More than 7,000 people have responded to the meme on Facebook and Instagram.
The coronavirus is spread when tiny drops of the virus are released into the air from an infected person's cough or sneeze. This does not mean that exhaling on a swab will accumulate enough material for a laboratory test.
We spoke to Public Health England, who said that better test results could be obtained by getting a sample from inside the nose or throat.
The tip of the swab is very thin and if you just breathe on it, it may not catch the virus particles. However, if you inject it into your nose or throat and rub it around the site of infection, you are more likely to find a contagious material that is expected to give a more accurate test result.
False certificate of virus free in Bangladesh
We have also highlighted the scandal of fake certificates in Bangladesh in which people were given the certificate of being free from Coronavirus.
Several people have been arrested for issuing negative test results without testing there.
These documents are important because they are needed by migrant workers to reach their destination. Bangladesh is heavily dependent on the income of its citizens living in other countries.
In the latest incident, the owner of a hospital has been arrested near the Indian border. He is accused of issuing thousands of fake reports and police arrested him after fleeing in the guise of a woman after a nine-day search.
In addition, criminals are advertising on social media to issue such certificates.
There are also reports that fake positive test results are being sold in Bangladesh, allowing government officials to take time off work.
