The growing epidemic of SARS-CoV-2 challenges healthcare resources globally and mandates innovation. We describe our novel drive-through coronavirus testing which we used for testing of possible cases in the contain phase of UK response and are now using for healthcare worker testing. We found that this system was pragmatic, cost-efficient and favourable for patients. It is easily modifiable for use in future infectious disease outbreaks.
不断蔓延的 SARS-CoV-2 疫情给全球医疗资源带来挑战,需要创新应对。我们介绍了一种新型的驾车通过式冠状病毒检测方法,该方法在英国应对疫情的遏制阶段用于疑似病例检测,现在也用于医护人员检测。我们发现该系统实用、高效且有利于患者。它易于修改,可用于未来的传染病暴发。
