Abstract
COVID-19 has been a major challenge for the worldwide healthcare system. An integral part of this response has been patient testing to determine a patient’s infection status and implement proper infection control measures. This webinar will discuss rapid molecular testing methods related to SARS-CoV-2 including nucleic acid amplification tests, serological tests, and antigen detection methods, what we have learned and the future of SARS-CoV-2 testing.
This will be followed by an Australian experience of rolling out and administering a rapid coronavirus (COVID-19) Remote Point of Care Testing Program for remote and rural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
