The paper outlines a safe technique of nasal foreign body removal in a suspected coronavirus disease 2019 patient and suggests alternative testing materials. 17 • Viral swab sticks generally have a breakpoint feature • Premature activation of the breakpoint in a complex group of patients can lead to a retained swab tip in the nasal cavity • Nasal foreign body removal is an aerosol-generating procedure and requires robust personal protective equipment • The simplest way to avoid this complication is to utilise a product without a breakpoint • Alternative swab products with Dacron or polyester flocked tips can be used, and if viral transport medium is unavailable, then sterile saline may be used in replacement	./cache/cord-275737-jg45bnzq.txt	./txt/cord-275737-jg45bnzq.txt
