Researchers have developed a way to increase the sensitivity of the primary test used to detect the virus that causes COVID-19. Applying the findings could make the nasal swab test up to 10 times more sensitive and improve our ability to identify people who are infected but do not exhibit symptoms.
Innovation could improve detection of COVID-19 infections
