Webinar: The Impact of False Negatives on Coronavirus Testing

Join us for a moderated session with an industry expert that will analyze the Coronavirus situation and discuss some of the pressing questions that many of us have.

He will address topics such as the following and take questions live from the audience.

• What are the current COVID-19 testing strategies being used?
• What are their advantages / disadvantages? What new testing methods may be better, and why?
• How realistic is it for shelter-in-place to end by 4/30, and what will the Coronavirus situation likely look like by that date?
