Self-Collected Oral Fluid and Nasal Swabs Demonstrate Comparable Sensitivity to Clinician Collected Nasopharyngeal Swabs for Covid-19 Detection

2020-04-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Currently, there is a pandemic caused by the 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes Covid-19. We wanted to compare specimen types and collection methods to explore if a simpler to collect specimen type could expand access to testing. <h4>Methods</h4> We recruited individuals recently tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection through a “drive-through” testing progr...
