COVID-19 MYTH MONDAY!

Aanii SFN community members,

Please be warned that the Facebook video this article is referring to contains explicit language that is not condoned by Saugeen First Nation.

Did you know that COVID-19 nasal swabs are sterilized with Ethylene Oxide (EO/EtO)?

There have been claims that the swabs are unsafe and can even cause cancer, however, this is false.

All medical equipment is sterilized in some shape or form to make sure it’s safe to be used.

This is an internationally monitored process that goes through rigorous testing.
