Abstract |
It has been four years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and although the epidemic has never entirely abated, considerable discourse has arisen regarding preparations for future pandemics. However, we cannot move forward without considering what lessons were learnt from the crisis and what did not work. If we are to have a strategy for infection control based on testing in the next pandemic, we need to clarify the issues of the COVID 19 and work comprehensively and strategically as clinical microbiologists, from laboratory quality control to human resource development. |
