Abstract

Voluntary asymptomatic severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing was provided by the NIH Clinical Center over 1 year. Among 105,927 tests, 0.2% were positive. Among eligible staff, 79% participated with variable frequency and 61% of positive individuals had symptoms at the time of testing. Saliva specimen collection was chosen as an option less frequently than midturbinate collection.
