Click here  Monday, 28 June 2021 MEDIA ADVISORY WHO has updated its guidance on testing strategies to account for a wider range of situations in countries, including the circulation of more transmissible variants, and the use of new tests. Timely and accurate diagnostic testing is an essential tool in preventing and controlling the spread of COVID-19. The updated guidance describes recommendations for national testing strategies and the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid antigen tests in different transmission scenarios of the COVID-19 outbreak, including how testing might be rationalized in low resource settings. All testing should be followed by a strong public health response including isolating those who test positive and providing them care, contact tracing and quarantine of contacts.
