Free home COVID tests funded by Joe Biden will likely not be approved to get around existing travel rules because it is too easy to fake a negative result, a health expert has warned. Dr David Weber, an epidemiologist at the University of , Chapel Hill, told that using the at-home tests may not be enough to meet some domestic negative testing requirements.Since the tests are taken at home, a person can easily fake a negative result ahead of travel with no way for health officials to know. Instead of swabbing their nostrils, as requested by the test, they could just dip the stick in the solution to produce a negative result, or just stick it gently up their nose without touching the nasal walls where virus particles sit.
