Getting a coronavirus test? Don't believe the myths and conspiracy theories about how PCR test kits work

ABC  

Melbourne is in the midst of a testing blitz to control the latest coronavirus outbreak. "PCR tests are used in Victoria and are one of the most common ways to test for coronavirus," he said. Another version of the misinformation shared in Australian conspiracy-theory Facebook groups incorrectly claims PCR tests can "break the blood-brain barrier" and allow "bacteria & other toxins to enter your brain & infect the brain tissue which can lead to inflammation and sometimes death". "There has been a higher level of activity with a small number of people trying to cast doubt on the tests being reliable, with the emphasis being on overdiagnosis," Dr Buchanan said. "A lot of the anti-test lines also come from people who are arguing one of two things: either, this isn't really a condition — why take a test when there's no need?"
