SalivaDirect™ is a new process developed at the Yale School of Public Health to test for infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
SalivaDirect uses a saliva sample, rather than an invasive nasal or throat sample, to detect the presence of the virus. While it relies on a similar molecular process as earlier tests, it simplifies the test process to drive down costs and ease stress on supply chains.
