The COVID-19 pandemic has been a threat to military medical readiness. Novel variants have been associated with differing disease severities and symptoms. Symptom-based screening tools focusing on fever, cough, and dyspnea have been widely utilized throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the sensitivities of these screening tools in young, healthy patients have not been well characterized across the different waves (Pre-Delta vs. Delta) of the pandemic.
