COVID-19 Testing
As an academic health center on the front lines of managing the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve learned a lot about effective COVID-19 testing and limiting the spread of the virus.
We joined Battelle in developing a rapid, highly sensitive diagnostic test for COVID-19 that allows for faster turnaround time on test results, and we’re the COVID-19 reference lab for the Ohio Department of Health. We’ve processed one out of every nine tests performed in Ohio and continue to grow our testing capabilities beyond our current daily capacity of 4,000.
We’re also expanding testing across the state, distributing more than 200,000 testing kits to hospitals and care facilities and assembling hundreds of thousands more to supply to facilities through Ohio.
What we’ve discovered can help your company track and contain the spread of COVID-19 in your workplace.
