You may have heard there is a virus going around that can make people feel sick. A virus is a germ and it is so tiny you can't even see it. Some people who get this virus can have a fever or a cough and may feel achy and tired, while some people can have this virus and not feel sick at all.

People may get this virus from touching things. That's why it's important to wash your hands often with soap and water. The virus also can spread through a cough or a sneeze. So it's important to always cover your cough or sneeze. Today, even though you may or may not be feeling sick, we will need to give you a test so we know how to best proceed with your medical care. This medical test will tell us if you have the virus.

When you go to take your test, the health care provider will wear special protective clothing. They wear this clothing to keep themselves and you safe from getting germs.

They will wear a mask to cover their nose and mouth and a clear plastic shield to protect their eyes. The most important thing you can do during your test is to sit perfectly still like a statue. To help make sure you don't move, your parent or caregiver will help keep you still and calm during your test. The health care provider needs to touch the inside of the back of your nose with a long, skinny Q-tip.

To do this, you need to hold your chin up, then the health care provider will put the Q-tip in your nose for a short time to collect a sample. While this happens you may feel like you want to push the Q-tip away, but it's really important to stay as still as possible so the health care provider can finish the test. The Q-tip will be in and out of your nose in a few seconds. Some kids tell me that counting to 3 or taking a deep breath relaxes them before the test happens, and some tell me they like to hold on to their favorite stuffed animal or blanket.

Maybe you have your own way to relax. Remember that during the test, the most important thing to do is to keep your body perfectly still. You may have many feelings seeing the health care provider wearing different clothing, but know this person is caring and wants to help you.
