could be safer for suspected coronavirus patients and health care workers and help alleviate the backlog in hard-hit cities -- spit.Friday for a testing method developed by a Rutgers University lab that, instead of relying on swabs that reach deep into the nasal cavity, is designed to check for evidence of the virus in a patient's saliva.
Rutgers said the saliva tests are already being made available to the large New Jersey health care system RWJBarnabas and at a number of New Jersey hospitals and facilities. A drive-thru testing facility utilizing this new method is also planned this week in Edison, New Jersey.

The Vault version closely resembles the way many well-known commercial genealogy companies collect DNA samples – asking patients to spit in a vial filled with preservative, and sending the vials overnight to a lab for review.

Virologists believe the coronavirus first enters the body through the nasal passage, so the initial tests were focused on collecting samples where they knew they would find it. Experts in microbiology told ABC News it is plausible that the presence of virus in saliva would theoretically come from the nasal secretions that produce results for a nasal swab.
Good job. Get them 2 EVRY Airport in America
Круто!
Cc... realDonaldTrump EsperDoD how the story is a big country like America is not ready to deal with the coronavirus. Look at SouthKorea, Singapore ready to face all possibilities?
The FDA has issued immediate approval for a test method of swabbing saliva. Interesting.
Frump touts, means he will gain financially.
An easier way to test. The treatment can be an inhaler of the hydrochloride which will break up the carbon monoxide in the lungs. Only when needed.
The test is the cure! Random 1: It's okay, I got tested. Random 2: When though? Random 1: About an hour ago. Random 2: You could've contracted since then, you need to get retested.
Yeah, heard it isn't particularly pleasant
The World is gripped by fear
