Sedgwick County plans to invest in COVID-19 spit tests, partner with WSU

Sedgwick County is moving forward with plans to buy COVID-19 saliva tests, a move commissioners said could make it easier to test children when school starts. The Sedgwick County Commission directed staff to work out a contract with Clinical Reference Laboratory, a Lenexa, Kan.-based company that was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration to test samples taken at home. With saliva testing, children could spit in a vial rather than have a nasal swab shoved up their noses.
