Systems and methods for non-invasive determination of covid-19 coronavirus infection

A high throughput system for label-free, noncontact, noninvasive, and nondestructive detection of at least one virus infected or virus free individual from at least one tested individual, the system comprising:

• at least one sampler comprising at least one metamaterial membrane absorber located at a propagation path of collected media being selected from a group consisting of an aerosol, any airborne compound, a volatile compound, and any combination thereof, released by the breath of said at least one tested individual, said metamaterial membrane absorber being configured to trap the collected media;
• and
• a controller configured to receive data indicative of the collected media being scanned with electromagnetic radiation in the THz range and processing said data for identifying a signature being indicative of virus infected or virus free individuals to thereby provide detection of said virus infected or virus free individuals.

A high throughput method for label-free, noncontact, noninvasive, and nondestructive detection of at least one virus infected or virus free individual from at least one tested individual, the method comprising:

• receiving data indicative of a collected media being selected from a group consisting of aerosol, any airborne compound, volatile compounds, VCs, and any combination thereof, being scanned with electromagnetic radiation in the THz range;
• and
• processing said data for identifying a signature being indicative of said virus infected or virus free individuals.

A sampler to be integrated into a system for label-free, noncontact, noninvasive, and nondestructive detection of at least one virus infected or virus free individuals from at least one tested individual, the sampler comprising:

• a proximal end and a distal end interconnected by a longitudinal axis, and
• at least one metamaterial membrane positioned along the longitudinal axis and configured to receive the exhaled breath of said tested individual, such that a propagation path of said exhaled breath and collected media therewithin intersect said at least one metamaterial membrane;
• said metamaterial membrane being configured and operable for trapping said collected media, said collected media being selected from a group consisting of aerosol, any airborne compound, volatile compounds, VCs, and any combination thereof.
