(A) Median cycle threshold (CT) value in nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva specimens positive for SARS-CoV-2. NPS, nasopharyngeal swab. (B) Median cycle threshold (CT) value and days from symptom onset in nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva specimens positive for SARS-CoV-2. Data points represent the median CT value from patient samples, and bars represent the interquartile range. The slope represents the line of best fit.
