» Halteres SARS-CoV-2 Use Case Tables
March 26, 2020
Hello Readers:
We appreciate the overwhelming positive responses from so many of you concerning the COVID-19 test Use Case discussion we posted in our Newsletter of Friday March 20, 2020. We also are grateful for the inputs we have received. We will make modifications and improvements over time.
As promised, we have posted the COVID-19 Use Case Tables on our website. There are more details now for the six Use Cases presented than we presented last week. In addition, we provide three new Use Cases:
Use Case 7: Previous SARS-CoV-2 Exposure
Use Case 8: Surveillance in Sites of Previous or Potential Outbreaks
Use Case 9: Environmental Monitoring
These are quite different from the first six. In addition, we are accumulating additional Use Cases from a number of sources that we will address subsequently.
We greatly appreciate the inputs we received from Ranga Sampath and his team at FIND concerning the new Tables. They made a series of suggestions that we have tried to address.
As has been attributed to everyone from Cicero to Oscar Wilde, "If we had more time, it would have been shorter.” Nevertheless, it is our hope that those of you involved in the development of SARS-CoV-2 tests will find these documents useful. There’s so much to consider to get to the right test for the intended use. Hopefully, this will improve your chances of success. Let us know how we can help.
Stay well,
Mickey and Rich
