All-in-One Test for COVID-19 Monitoring

A new type of COVID-19 testing strategy could help streamline the process of identifying cases, tracking variants, and detecting co-infecting viruses. At present, separate assays and complex workflows are involved in each of these three diagnostic procedures, with analyses typically performed in highly specialized facilities. Researchers have now combined all three kinds of tests into a single procedure that should allow for point-of-care tracking of COVID-19 and the many emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2.
