The performance of 3 different sampling methods (2 nasopharyngeal swabs, 1 oropharyngeal swab) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction will be compared.
Thirty volunteers will be recruited from health care workers suspicious for Covid-19, who consult the ocupational physician for Covid-19 testing.
For each volunteer, 3 swabs will be taken:
Performance of each method will be calculated.
