Our approach to combating COVID has not progressed as quickly or as dramatically as new variants have emerged. A new strategy is needed. If you can detect COVID before someone is contagious, then you can break the chains of transmission and stop the spread. If you can treat early, then you can reduce the infectious period and the risk of developing serious disease. In a test and treat strategy, testing moves from COVID surveillance into a diagnostic tool to begin appropriate treatment. The world has been chasing COVID for more than two years; Virolens will help the world get ahead.
