Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine: Fatigue, cold weather to blame for COVID-19 spike

As COVID-19 numbers increase in Arizona, testing centers are expecting a renewed influx of people. When testing began at State Farm Stadium at 6:30 Saturday morning, upwards of 1,500 registered participants began waiting in a line of cars.

The draw with this COVID-19 test is that it’s free and painless, unlike the dreaded nose swab. This test, which Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute developed, is an FDA-certified saliva-based test that’s supposed to be as accurate as the nasal swab test.

Arizona State University creates test for COVID-19 that uses saliva

Here’s how it works. First, you’ll want to pre-register online to secure a testing time through ASU’s partnership with the Arizona Department of Health Services. Click here to go to the AZDHS website, and when prompted for your “agency code,” use the name SALIVATEST.

You’ll be given a QR code, which you’ll need to bring with you, along with photo identification. When you arrive, you will stay in your vehicle the entire time, masked up. You’ll be directed to one of two triage centers. A clinician will hand you a straw and a tube for your saliva sample, which you’ll handle yourself from inside your car.

You stick the straw into the tube for the sample,” explained Breanna Carpenter of ASU’s Biodesign Institute. “A lot of people produce bubbles, and we have a minimum and a maximum line on the tube, so we need at least between the minimum and the maximum, in addition to the bubbles,” she says.

To ensure a successful test result, they recommend no chewing gum, eating, smoking, vaping, or drinking — including water — for at least 30 minutes beforehand. “We encourage pre-hydration before the 30 minutes starts,” Carpenter said. “We want to make sure we have enough of your actual saliva.”

The Biodesign Institute first piloted the saliva-based test with a network of Phoenix first responders at risk of exposure to the virus. By comparing the results of these tests with nasopharyngeal swabs from the same individuals, the Biodesign Institute confirmed that the saliva-based tests were just as accurate. The Biodesign Institute then expanded its saliva test network to include ASU students and employees. The tests were rolled out to the general public in early July.

Other testing sites providing free saliva diagnostics for COVID-19 are set up in high-need and underserved communities around the state. Given Arizona’s recent surge in cases as we approach the holiday season where social interactions might increase, ASU says additional testing and quicker results will be especially important.

“Turnaround time is key,” says Dr. Joshua LaBaer, executive director of the Biodesign Institute at ASU. “If results take a week, then it’s going to be too late. Testing is only an intervention if you can get an answer back to somebody quickly.” The results of this test are being processed and delivered through text and email within 48 hours.More stories about saliva-based COVID-19 testing

Warning that conditions likely will get worse due to Thanksgiving family gatherings and other socializing, officials advise against congregating outside households that live together. They also continue to urge people to wear masks when in public, practice social distancing, wash hands frequently and stay home when sick.

The past two weeks saw seven-day rolling averages of daily new cases, daily deaths and positivity from COVID-19 testing continue to increase, according to analysis by The Associated Press of data from Johns Hopkins University and The COVID Tracking Project.

The average of daily new cases rose from 1,166 on Oct. 30 to 2,116 on Friday while the average of daily deaths doubled from 9.9 to 21.1 and the testing positivity average rose from 10.5% to 14.7%.

Testing positivity is a key metric of the degree of community spread of the virus.

The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.

The coronavirus outbreak continues to surge in Arizona, with the state reporting over 3,000 new known COVID-19 cases on Nov. 14 for the third day in a week and the most in one day since July.

The state Department of Health Services reported 3,476 additional cases and 45 deaths, the most deaths reported in a single day in two weeks. The state’s totals rose to 273,063 cases and 43 deaths.
