NCT ID NCT04578509

Summary

This study aimed to see if saliva tests could work as well as or better than the standard nasal swab test for finding COVID-19. Over 5,000 people who were getting a standard nasal swab test also provided a saliva sample. Researchers compared the results to see if the easier, more comfortable saliva test could be a good alternative for mass screening.
