Descripción
Sumario:• POC laboratories have demonstrated their usefulness in the context of a pandemic (like COVID-19). • The movement of population during major events likely contributed to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. • The persistence of the pandemic is due to the high mutation rate of the virus and the constant appearance of variant of concern. • POC laboratories were among the few laboratories capable of routinely detecting SARS-CoV-2 variants in Senegal.
