Opinion: The U.S. Needs A Better Testing Playbook For Future Public Health Emergencies

Thu, 2024-06-06 17:47 — mike kraft

We describe here the Testing Playbook for Biological Emergencies, a national testing playbook we developed. It includes a set of decisions and actions for US officials to take at specific times during infectious disease emergencies to implement testing rapidly and to ensure that available testing meets clinical and public health needs.
