Timeline
Interventions
For in-person PCR testing, a nasal swab will be inserted shallowly into the participant's nose and rotated in each nostril. The swab will be broken off into a designated test tube and placed into a specimen bag along with a label. All specimens will be stored in a cooler until they are transported the Rush Laboratory for COVID-19 analysis. For at home antigen testing, participants will download an app to their mobile phone and watch an informational video. The test will be self-administered by inserting a nasal swab into the nostril until a cap containing the swab touches the nose; rubbing the swab tip around the nose cavity 3 times; removing the swab and repeating in the other nostril. The nasal swab, a dropper, processing fluid, and a blue tooth connected analyzer are provided with the testing kit to analyze the sample for COVID-19. COVID-19 home test results are displayed on the participants smart phone after 15 minutes.
