Presumably if your swab comes back as positive for the virus you'll be notified. It seems to me someone could pseudo test a friend or family member by sending their swab instead.
Anyone knows how they identify a swab is not from the participant? Do they DNA test every swab?
The participants in the trial have to submit swabs on a regular basis? ANd they are swabbing friends and famiy and submitting this instead of their own?
Why?
