Differences in Exhaled Breath by Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) in Subjects Tested for SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19 Disease)
Breath gas analysis is the evaluation of exhaled breath. It aims to evaluate the volatile
 organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath.

 In this feasibility study it is intended to find specific peaks/pattern in exhaled breath
 indicating an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  PCR (= Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing for SARS CoV-2 will be/has been performed in
 a timely manner of sampling exhaled breath or PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 was performed
 within 96 hours, but preferably within 48 hours before sampling exhaled breath and PCR
 test result is already available

 -  Subject must be able to comply with study-specific procedures, e.g.is able to comply
 with breathing commands

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Previous (history) SARS-CoV-2 infection, independent of the current episode

 -  Participation in a therapeutic study prior to breath analysis which could influence
 the result of the breath analysis
