Study: Optical Biosensors for Virus Detection: Prospects for SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Optical biosensors have led to significant advancements in virus detection and imaging capabilities. Coupled with advanced instrumentation, they have enabled higher sensitivities while increasing the rate at which samples can be tested. These techniques can be developed into point-of-care (POC) diagnostics for viral detection and are promising alternatives to detect COVID-19.

Study: SARS-CoV-2 Transmission From People Without COVID-19 Symptoms

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is readily transmitted person to person. Optimal control of COVID-19 depends on directing resources and health messaging to mitigation efforts that are most likely to prevent transmission, but the relative importance of such measures has been disputed.
