CME Credits: 1.00

Since its discovery, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has created a global pandemic of COVID-19. As of August 2, 2021, more than 198 million infections were reported worldwide. Typical symptoms include fatigue, fever, cough, and anosmia or dysgeusia.
Outbreak management has been hindered by high transmission rates and limitations in testing capacity. Effective public health tools are needed for rapid and early detection. The current diagnostic standard is quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), but its cost and long turnaround times limit its utility for widespread surveillance. Lack of surveillance has caused severe societal disruption.
