is inside your nostril (about 2cm).
Roll the swab at least 5 times around the inside of your nostril.

Step 8
After 30 minutes the test is invalid and must be discarded, make sure you
interpret your result before then.
Positive: ‘C’ and ‘T’ lines are both present. Even if the ‘T’ line is very faint it's still a
positive test as long as there's a ‘C’ line as well.
Negative: A ‘C’ line but no ‘T’ line.
Invalid: No ‘C’ line visible. This is rare but it can happen and you'll need to re-test.
