COVID-19 Rapid Testing for Self-Administration Among an Asymptomatic Sample
Point-of-care testing can provide an additional layer of protection to reduce transmission of COVID-19 safely and effectively in the population, and if such tests can be self-administered, barriers to access may be reduced. The investigators will conduct a study among those self-identifying as asymptomatic for COVID-19 to evaluate the reliability and feasibility of self-administration of a point-of-care nasal swab test, determine the sensitivity and specificity of the point-of-care nasal swab test relative to reverse transciptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing, and gather quantitative and qualitative data on the acceptability and self efficacy of self-administration.
