Large-Scale SARS-CoV-2 Testing:

One Year’s Experience from the Research Luxembourg COVID-19 Task Force

Available on demand now

Overview

With over 59,000 cases of infection and 725 deaths, the COVID-19 pandemic represents a heavy healthcare burden in Luxembourg, as it does across the world. A total of 626,108 people are living in Luxembourg and more than 200,000 frontier workers cross the French, Belgian, and German borders every day. *

The Luxembourg government has set-up a large-scale testing strategy that is structured, targeted, and flexible with the aim of testing representative samples of the population where COVID-19 PCR tests are offered to residents and cross-border workers.

To support this initiative, the COVID-19 Task Force has been set-up to offer the health system the combined expertise available within the Luxembourg public research sector.

This webinar will focus on large-scale testing and will describe the COVID-19 activities including evaluation and implementation of diagnostic methods in virology and immunology, epidemiological studies, as well as research and development activities.
