- There is increasing evidence that tracking the amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients can enhance management strategies for both individual cases and public health at large.!* -
- A duplex RT-qPCR assay was developed to measure the virus while also checking the validity of the sample through a control gene, helping to identify inadequate samples that might lead to false negatives.!* -
- The assay demonstrated reliable results across a wide range of virus concentrations, allowing for accurate comparisons between samples and enabling better-informed decisions in healthcare and public health planning.!*
