Morning SARS-CoV-2 testing yields better detection of infection due to higher viral loads in saliva and nasal swabs upon waking

2022-03-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The analytical sensitivities of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests span 6 orders of magnitude. Optimizing sample-collection methods to achieve the most reliable detection for a given sensitivity would increase the effectiveness of testing and minimize COVID-19 outbreaks. <h4>Methods</h4> From September 2020 to April 2021 we performed a household-transmission study in which participan...
