PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 30 Minutes

Population: The proposed qPCR method proved feasible with an updated protocol. As a result, the alternative method (i.e., rapid antigen test) was unnecessary and therefore not conducted.

Determination of SARS-CoV-2 protein antigen levels in COVID+ patient saliva using rapid antigen test as back-up if qPCR analysis is not possible. If the Rapid Antigen Test is needed and proves infeasible, an alternative test (i.e., sandwich ELISA) will be used.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: After using mouthrinse, between 0-minute and 15-minute saliva collection

The Mouthrinse questionnaire was used to understand the acceptability of mouthrinse use by participants in a clinical setting. It asks participants to respond to 14 questions answering the following: "As I read the following list of situations, please tell me how willing you would be to using a mouth rinse in that situation." Possible responses for each question are: ("Very willing"; "Somewhat willing"; "Somewhat unwilling"; "Very unwilling"; and "NA").
