Scope and Contents

Contents

[...]we decided to collect pharynx gargle samples as an upper respiratory tract specimen (also known as oral rinse or throat wash in the literature). [...]in some countries national guidelines do not allow gargle sampling. [...]self-collected gargle samples are easy to take, noninvasive, material saving, and safe for healthcare workers.
