Q. Dear Rabbi. On question 3497 you permitted taking a Covid test on Shabbat that involves the changing of color of the test paper when needed, and can be done with a Shinui or a variation from the normal procedure, such as holding the testing stick by one’s teeth. Does the same apply to squeezing the Q- tip?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s opinion is that it is also permitted under the same conditions.
