Measure
COVID-19 Positive Participants
Participants were determined to be COVID-19 positive by NP PCR test for eligibility and subsequently tested for COVID-19 with Lollipop Swab PCR by placing a flocked swab into the mouth and sucking on the swab for 20 seconds as one would suck on a lollipop.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 study visit (data collected in 20 seconds)

NP vs. lollipop swab-based PCR COVID-19 tests. The True Positive Rate is the number of True Positive test results divided by the number of true positives and false negatives.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 study visit (data collected in 20 seconds)

All participants were confirmed COVID-19 positive by nasal-swab PCR test to be eligible for this study. Participants all took a COVID-19 test via lollipop-swab. Reported here are the number of participants who did not test positive for COVID-19 via the lollipop-swab device (discordant results).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 study visit (data collected up to 15 minutes)

Population: 1 participant described symptoms that the study team determined were unrelated to COVID-19, and this participant is reported as asymptomatic here.

Count of participants who were: asymptomatic, symptomatic for less that 5 days, symptomatic for 5 days or greater, reported symptom days but ultimately determined to be asymptomatic by study team. Data collected via participant survey on the day of testing.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 study visit (data collected in up to 10 minutes)

Population: Participants with discordant COVID-19 test results. 1 participant described symptoms that the study team determined were unrelated to COVID-19, and this participant is reported as asymptomatic here.

Of those with discordant results, how many were asymptomatic, symptomatic for less that 5 days, symptomatic for 5 days or greater, or reported symptom days but ultimately determined to be asymptomatic by study team. Data collected via participant survey on the day of testing.
