The lab will be administering the SalivaDirect test that was developed at Yale School of Public Health and is currently used by the NBA as well as many other organizations. A saliva sample will be collected for analysis.

This will then be processed using a Real-Time RT-PCR test method, which is the gold standard for COVID testing, city officials said. A Yale study demonstrates that this method is more sensitive than the nasopharyngeal swab.
