KCL TEST: an open-source inspired asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 surveillance programme in an academic institution

2023-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Testing was paramount in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our university established KCL TEST: a SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic testing programme that enabled sensitive and accessible PCR testing of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in saliva. We performed 158,277 PCRs for our staff, students, and their household contacts, free of charge. Our average turnaround time was 16h and 37 mins from user registration to result delivery. KCL...
