Optimizing Covid-19 isolation: the role of virus testing and the technology requirements

22 July, 2020

As work, education and recreation resume following Covid-19 restrictions, further isolation regimes must be proportionate, effective and properly supported by technology. Molecular tests for SARSCoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, will play a central role.
