I was wondering, who is administering the rapid COVID test you take on arrival? Do they have a nurse administering all these COVID tests or is it a customs officer? Frankly (or thankfully) I’ve never had a COVID test and I’m a little worried about how uncomfortable it’s is and who’s sticking that swab up my nose.
The rapid test they are giving to vaccinated travelers was very simple. It's not a deep swab at all. I had a slight urge to sneeze but that was the worst side effect.
It is certainly not the customs or immigration staff. The testing center is staffed by the Health Services Administration and I believe they are nurses but could have a different health education/designation. All very clean and professionally executed.
