The critics claimed that it is not safe and recommended for non-health professionals to perform self-swabbing due to the chance of making a mistake and getting an inaccurate test result.
However, Robin defended himself, saying that he knows how to perform the swab test on himself because he gets tested three times a week.
He clarified that he would prefer if there was a nurse or doctor present at the location but that he performed the swab test on himself because there were no healthcare professionals around at that time.
