Molecular Methods for Clinical Application to Detect Influenza & SARS-CoV-2

Clinicians will learn about molecular approaches for clinical & public health applications to detect the influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Presenters will review guidance on clinical testing for influenza, including situations when influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are co-circulating; discuss cycle threshold (Ct) values from SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic assays and their correlation with viral load and infectiousness; and discuss SARS-CoV-2 sequencing applications for public health.
