Article Synopsis
- Efficient testing for SARS-CoV-2 is essential for tracking infections in communities, with traditional nasopharyngeal swabs being the gold standard for diagnosis.
- A new saliva collection device was tested against nasopharyngeal swabs, showing a moderate concordance of 68%, although neither method identified all infections.
- The saliva test was found to be particularly effective for asymptomatic individuals and valuable for contact tracing, suggesting it could be a reliable option for community-wide COVID-19 screening.
