Saliva test missing about 13pc of COVID-19 infections, early studies showHealth experts have warned a new COVID-19 saliva test being rolled out in Victoria should be used only as a back-up for those who refuse a throat and nasal swab. Hoax Virus Fake News Delete your account. Pandering to people who refuse test? I just don't get why do you think they won't refuse that too. The stupidity of modern progressives. That looks more reasonable. I think DoH should send it out to all house holds so everyone can be tested.
