In good news for those who don't particularly enjoy having a swab shoved deep into one nostril, the French health authority has given the green light for the rollout of saliva tests for Covid-19, The Local France reported. The test is considered slightly less accurate than the nasal swab, but it is easier and more pleasant to use, and will be used to ramp up mass testing in schools and universities.
