The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic and a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Like other pandemics and emerging disease outbreaks, this pandemic is creating immense disturbances on every sector needed for mankind to thrive.
Researchers have been continuously finding and developing ways to combat this pandemic. There is currently much emphasis on treatment and prevention, with the vaccines being produced and distributed worldwide. However, there is little focus on data gathering and analysis on the effectiveness of the testing kits for COVID-19 detection. These research studies seek to collect and analyze nasal swab samples of COVID-19 positive individuals to evaluate the accuracy of current testing kits. These research studies may help develop and improve testing kits for COVID-19 detection in the future.

• Participants may contribute valuable information that may help test the effectiveness of current COVID-19 testing kits.
• If not yet tested, those experiencing symptoms will receive the standard of care test result for COVID-19 at no cost.
• Participants will be compensated for participating in any of these studies. Participants may get a total compensation of $175 if they are eligible and participate in all 3 studies. Compensation will only be provided to eligible participants who complete the study requirements.
• Participants will be helping to advance COVID-19 medical-related research.

• If you decide to participate in these studies and later feel that you no longer wish to be part of it, you can withdraw at any time.
• Any information that you provide will be kept strictly confidential, except as required by law.
• Qualified health professionals will monitor your health as it relates to these studies.

• Men and women aged 18 years old or older who have either:
  • Tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 5 days and have been experiencing symptoms in the last 10 days
