A PCR test using saliva to test for Covid-19 is almost as accurate as the standard nose and throat swab, an Irish study has found.

The saliva screening represents a less invasive alternative to the nasal and throat swab and could enable greater capacity for, and uptake of, frequent testing of people who need regular screening, researchers said.

The research, carried out in Ireland by the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, has been approved by an international panel of peer-reviewers this week.
