CORONAVIRUS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: 1-MINUTE READS
Spit could be the solution to testing shortages
A person’s saliva accurately reveals whether they are infected with SARS-CoV-2, a finding that could make tests for the virus safer and more widely available.
Reference: medRxiv preprint
Intensive testing finds many silent infections
A large proportion of people with COVID-19 have no symptoms, according to research in a small Italian town. Researchers swabbed almost every resident of Vo’ for viral RNA and found that some 43% of the people infected with SARS-CoV-2 had no fever or other symptoms.

Vaccine candidate shows early success in an animal trial
An experimental vaccine protects monkeys from infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine, composed of chemically inactivated SARS-CoV-2 particles, was tested in eight rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) at at the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing. This month, the company developing the vaccine received approval to start human safety trials.
