COVID and staying home, sentence 11
A lateral flow test looks for virus proteins in a nose or throat sample; a positive result is usually right, but a negative one can miss an early infection; the swab only goes a little way in and cannot touch the brain.
Who acts: flow test, positive result, negative one, swab · What happens: look, be, miss, go, not touch · To what, where: nose sample, early infection, little way, brain
