Capturing Infectious COVID-19 Asymptomatic Cases in Singapore

Becton, Dickinson and Company

Overview

This study is being conducted to assess the performance of the BD Veritor™ Plus System for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2, used in serial testing, in identification of infectious, asymptomatic individuals. This information may be used to inform development of an effective testing strategy by policy makers.

This multi-center, prospective, observational, diagnostic evaluation study is designed to assess the performance of the BD Veritor System in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic individuals compared to viral culture and a commercially available RT-PCR assay over multiple testing time points. The study will enroll a minimum of 150 asymptomatic, adult participants who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 during community/traveler screening procedures.
