EUA amendment approving mid-nasal swab application. This is huge for this test's position in market. Selling points are 1) it's way more comfortable for the patient and 2) it requires much less PPE (gloves masks, etc) for those administering the tests (the old way, which was nasal pharyngeal, went way up the nose, so people could sneeze, cry, etc, and aerosolize the virus).
