At the expo-Areal wbody fluid now resents the owner. Since Monday mto have his spit checked for the coronavirus in the cantonal test center. The new saliva test meets with demand. The first day of the test was fully booked with 180 people. What is noticeable on an on-site inspection: Filling the test tube with spit is not that easy. In some, the saliva forms foam and you have to wait for it to settle. In others, the glands produce just too little fluid to fill the minimum amount straight away.
