after being tested for COVID-19 via anal swabs following a viral video showed Chinese people purportedly doing just that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;The video in question purports to show Chinese citizens walking stiff-legged with their arms slightly open while leaving a hospital,&#8221; The Dail Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9168707\/Coronavirus-China-blasts-fake-video-people-waddling-like-penguins-COVID-19-anal-swabs.html\">reported<\/a> on Monday. &#8220;It was allegedly filmed on January 28 in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province in northern China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The clip has reportedly<a class href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/bn28v9oOolri_eAHg5GSyQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0<\/a>been viewed millions of times on Chinese social media platforms before it was taken down.\u00a0The Shijiazhuang Internet Report Center said the video had been doctored to spread &#8220;rumor.&#8221; In an official <a class href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/7337345025\/JFKwyonrR?type=comment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">post<\/a> on Sunday, the Center cited the municipal health department and a doctor as proof that the video was fake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Global Times, Beijing&#8217;s propaganda outlet, yesterday published\u00a0an English <a class href=\"https:\/\/mp.weixin.qq.com\/s\/bn28v9oOolri_eAHg5GSyQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> headlined, &#8220;You won&#8217;t walk like penguin after anal swab coronavirus test.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Local authorities of Shijiazhuang in North China&#8217;s Hebei Province say a video purportedly showing people walking like penguins after having a coronavirus test using anal swabs, is not true,&#8221; said the article. &#8220;The video, which is accompanied by a laugh-track, purports to show people in Shijiazhuang walking stiff-legged after being tested using an anal swab, has likely been viewed millions of times on several Chinese social network platforms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Shijiazhuang Internet Report Center claims the viral video was edited and doctored and it verified with the municipal health department and the chief physician of Shijiazhuang No. 5 Hospital, who is a member of the municipal COVID-19 medical treatment expert group that healthy people aren\u2019t test for the virus using an anal swab,&#8221; said the article.<\/p>\n<p>The report came after another that passengers on a flight from Changchun to Beijing in China were ordered to disembark after officials said one came from an area deemed as high risk for COVID-19. They were then brought to a hotel &#8220;where health workers took nose and anal swabs, said a passenger who asked to be identified only by his last name, Wang,&#8221; The National Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpost.com\/news\/world\/chinas-covid-19-testing-protocols-now-include-anal-swabs\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some people arriving into Beijing are being asked to undertake anal swabs as well, with one traveler who came from Hong Kong a few weeks ago telling Bloomberg News she was told to do the swab herself while in mandatory hotel quarantine,&#8221; the Post wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Health officials across China have begun using anal swabs to test its residents for COVID-19, &#8220;a method that experts say is more accurate and raises the chances of detecting the virus,&#8221; the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9192251\/And-thought-nose-swabs-bad-China-begins-using-anal-swabs-test-Covid-Beijing.html\">reported<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;To collect test samples, the swab needs to be inserted about three to five centimeters (1.2 to 2 inches) into the rectum and rotated several times. After completing the motion twice, the swab is removed before being securely placed inside a sample container. The whole procedure is said to take about 10 seconds,&#8221; said the U.K. paper.<\/p>\n<p>The Mail cited Li Tongzeng from Beijing&#8217;s You&#8217;an Hospital, who said on state broadcaster\u00a0<a class href=\"https:\/\/weibo.com\/tv\/show\/1034:4596430023884802?from=old_pc_videoshow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">CCTV<\/a> that traces of the coronavirus are detectable longer in the anus or in feces than samples taken from the throat and nose.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We found that some asymptomatic patients tend to recover quickly. It&#8217;s possible that there will be no trace of the virus in their throat after three to five days,&#8221; Li said. &#8220;But the virus lasts longer from the samples taken from the patient&#8217;s digestive tract and excrement, compared to the ones taken from the respiratory tract.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/passengers-on-flight-to-beijing-reportedly-taken-to-hotel-for-mandatory-anal-swabs?%3Futm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=restlesspatriot\">Passengers On Flight To Beijing Reportedly Taken To Hotel For &#8216;Mandatory\u2019 Anal Swabs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
