A less invasive, saliva-based COVID-19 test developed by Yale researchers in partnership with the NBA and National Basketball Players Association has been approved by the FDA for emergency use.
The FDA's statement said the Yale School of Public Health submitted data that meets the FDA’s criteria for emergency use authorization. SalivaDirect results have been validated with reagents and “yields similar outcomes as swabbing," Yale said in a news release.
“In talking to our partners at the NBA, we heard from them that in addition to finding less invasive testing solutions for its players and staff, there is a strong desire on their part to give back to the public and especially help low-income communities, so it became immediately clear that our interests were aligned,” Nathan Grubaugh, assistant professor at the Yale School of Public Health, said in a statement in June.
NBPA medical chief Joe Rogowski said: “Not only does it offer the potential for players to have an alternative method of testing within the NBA Campus in Orlando, but more importantly it allows them to leverage their regular testing to make a larger contribution to public health in the fight against this virus."
