Scope and Contents

Contents

Tongue, nasal, and mid-turbinate swabs to detect SARS-CoV-2 were collected by 530 outpatients before a health care worker collected nasopharyngeal swabs from these patients. Both the mid-turbinate and the nasal samples collected by the patients themselves may be clinically acceptable, with estimated sensitivities above 90%.
