Name Time Method After the participant has been informed and given consent, a questionnaire on symptoms and clinical development of the disease is collected and a throat swab and environmental samples are taken. Samples are processed immediately after collection in the virological or molecular genetic laboratory, but not more than 24 hours after arrival of the samples and 72 hours after collection of the samples. From the throat swab, the CT value is determined by means of SARS-CoV-2 specific quantitative PCR and the virus is cultured via cell culture method. Virus cultivation is also performed from all environmental samples.<br>The aim of the investigations is to examine the detectability of infectious virus material in the samples obtained and to evaluate a possible association between the CT value and the cultivability of viruses from throat swabs and breath samples of the test persons.
