Brief summary
This study will measure the sensitivity and specificity of the Testing Done Simple severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) CoV-2 antigen test in subjects with suspected Covid-19 that present throughout several urgent care clinics. The antigen test performance will be compared to a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.
Detailed description
The Testing Done Simple antigen test is a lateral flow immunoassay that detects the presence of the SARS CoV-2 nucleoprotein and is primarily intended for use in an at home setting. The antigen test will be compared to a traditional RT-PCR tested nasal swab specimens. The purpose of study is to measure the performance of the Testing Done Simple test via sensitivity and specificity when compared to the gold-standard RT-PCR test. The test will be administered in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects and participants will report the days that has passed since their symptom onset. The RT-PCR test will be performed prior to the Testing Done Simple test.
Interventions
Collections of specimens from subjects presenting with Covid-19 like symptoms or known/suspected exposure to SARS CoV-2 via nasal swabs administered by trained medical personnel.
