The article reports that rapid and accurate diagnostic tests are essential for controlling the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Topics include examines that the current standard involves testing of nasopharyngeal swab specimens by quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to detect SARS-CoV-2; and examines that rigorous evaluation is needed to determine how saliva specimens compare with nasopharyngeal swab specimens with respect to sensitivity in detection of SARSCoV-2.
