Spit or swab? study tests which COVID test works best
NCT ID NCT04613310
Summary
This study compared four different ways to test for COVID-19 to see which method works best. Researchers collected both saliva and nasal swab samples from 949 adults with symptoms and tested each sample with both PCR lab tests and rapid antigen tests. The goal was to determine if saliva tests are as accurate as nasal swabs, since saliva tests are easier and less uncomfortable for patients.
