Asymptomatic and Pre-symptomatic Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a Community Congregant Setting
Status unconfirmed
Conditions studied: COVID-19, SARS-CoV2 Infection
In brief
The overall aim of this study is to measure how transmission of COVID-19 occurs in communities - including the role of super spreaders and/or identifying conditions that may increase transmission risk, with a focus on congregant situations. In order to identify how presence of symptoms and behavior affects the transmissibility of the virus, the investigators will measure SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled breath of asymptomatic and symptomatic persons using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) test strips embedded in face masks (Face Mask Sampling- "FMS") - an innovative, non-invasive method for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in exhaled air.
