[We expanded our assessment of RT-LAMP for SARS-CoV-2 detection and evaluated its performance with crude saliva as a pragmatic approach for outbreak surveillance and response. Colorimetric RT-LAMP is a reliable assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection in both extracted RNA and crude saliva samples. The demonstrably acceptable performance on crude saliva samples (without RNA extraction) underscores the scalability of this method for efficient outbreak surveillance in resource-limited settings.]
