Advanced spatial and digital technologies may help us to take fuller advantage of limited testing resources to monitor the infection status of a large population in a cost-effective manner. Moreover, they may provide additional evidence to supplement results of nucleic acid testing (NAT) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to decrease false-negative and false-positive rates.
先进的空间和数字技术可以帮助我们更充分地利用有限的检测资源,以经济有效的方式监测大量人群的感染状况。此外,它们还可以提供额外的证据来补充严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 的核酸检测 (NAT) 结果,以降低假阴性和假阳性率。
