We are currently exploring options for new testing technology to test for an array of respiratory illnesses and enhance public health surveillance capabilities.
Multiplex tests, including those for point of care devices are undergoing validation and verification to ensure they are of sufficient quality to provide accurate diagnostic capability to inform clinical decision-making and ensure the best possible outcomes.
