About this study
An important means to control the COVID-19 pandemic is the rapid identification of infected individuals to allow quarantine and therapy to be promptly delivered. At home testing will soon be available, but requires reagents and introduces a delay. The possibility of combining a limited number of Mid-Turbinate (MT) nasal swab tests, Dried Blood Spot (DBS) serology, and smartphone-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG) tests may permit daily rapid, under one minute tests potentially, if this method proves to be effective. We plan to enroll 900 participants to determine if we can detect conversion in all modalities.
