Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) now called the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) was first identified in Wuhan city, Hubei province, China. Currently RT-PCR using nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal swabs is supposed to be the most efficacious and standard technique for COVID testing, but are invasive and have a few drawbacks due to which, saliva as a diagnostic specimen is proposed.
