While COVID-19 is undoubtedly no longer the “monster” it was at the beginning of this pandemic, there are several important aspects that argue for not abandoning testing for SARS-CoV-2,and which primarily include limiting the epidemiologic burden of COVID-19 and long-COVID, minimizing the public health burden of hospitalizations associated with COVID-19, anticipating the emergence of new lineages, and, last but not least, making an efficient differential diagnosis with other (infectious) respiratory conditions.

Abstract

While COVID-19 is undoubtedly no longer the “monster” it was at the beginning of this pandemic, there are several important aspects that argue for not abandoning testing for SARS-CoV-2,and which primarily include limiting the epidemiologic burden of COVID-19 and long-COVID, minimizing the public health burden of hospitalizations associated with COVID-19, anticipating the emergence of new lineages, and, last but not least, making an efficient differential diagnosis with other (infectious) respiratory conditions.
