NCT ID NCT07147517
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how common respiratory viruses like COVID-19, flu, and RSV spread in communities. Researchers will track up to 25,000 people of all ages using at-home test kits and symptom surveys. The goal is to better predict outbreaks and improve public health responses, not to test a new treatment.
