No symptoms required or prescription needed for this nasal swab test to screen for Covid-19. Tests are available to all, whether insured or not, and the cost is fully reimbursed by the state for those with Carte Vitale.
PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) is a method of producing millions of copies of a specific DNA sample, allowing scientists to take a tiny sample of DNA, in this case from the nose, and amplify it to a large enough amount to study in detail.
As well as all the usual medical personnel, tests can also be carried out by nursing and medical students, firefighters and even first-aiders depending on the circumstances.
