[quote=Anonymous]They are using saliva tests. This particular company had pretty decent study results but that was pre-Delta and saliva tests notoriously do significantly poorer in real life application than in the trials. The false negative rate is comparatively really high. This is why even this test says that it should not be used for asymptomatic individuals unless they are being tested AT LEAST once per week, which is not what DCPS is doing. They further state that per the FDA’s authorization of the test, one negative test cannot be viewed as a negative. Need at least two negatives within 7 days. Why? Because false negatives are super high with saliva tests for asymptomatic individuals (which by the way this test did not include in its trial studies)[/quote]
