Saliva-Based Coronavirus Test Receives FDA Approval

The video discusses a new saliva test developed by Rutgers University to detect viruses. This test, approved by the FDA under emergency authorization, allows patients to provide saliva samples that can be tested within 24 to 48 hours. The test has shown a 100% match with current swab tests and can process up to 10,000 samples daily. This method reduces strain on medical supplies and lowers infection risks for healthcare workers. Initially, it will be available through hospitals and clinics associated with the university.
