SARS-CoV-2 detection using standard testing of upper airway secretions requires a nasopharyngeal (NP) or oropharyngeal (OP) swab that is transported to a clinical laboratory using viral transport media (VTM) (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/faqs-diagnostic-testingsars-cov-2#offeringtests, last accessed April 29 2020).	cache/cord-265740-wjdeps3h.txt	txt/cord-265740-wjdeps3h.txt
