摘要：

The Seattle Flu study, initiated in 2018, mailed kits for home collection of midnasal swabs to people reporting respiratory symptoms. From January 1 through March 9, 2020, specimens from 2,353 people were also tested for SARS-CoV-2; 25 (1.1%) tested positive. A specimen collected on February 24, 2020, was the first documented U.S. case of community transmission at the time.
