It would appear the Japanese don’t like it up ‘em, at least according to this BBC report:
Source: BBC NewsCovid: Japan asks China to stop anal tests on its citizens
Japan has asked China to stop taking anal swab tests for Covid-19 on its citizens when they enter the country.
Some have complained that the procedure caused them "psychological distress", officials say.
China, which has largely brought the virus under control, started carrying out anal swabs in January.
Last week, it denied it had required US diplomats to undergo such tests after US media reported some had complained about the procedure.
"Some Japanese reported to our embassy in China that they received anal swab tests, which caused great psychological pain," Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said . . .
Funnily enough, the new testing procedure reminds me of Corporal Jones . . .
Remember: Coughs and sneezes spread diseases
