COVID-19 Testing for All to Stop Virus Spread

COVID-19 testing as much of the population as possible immediately is the only defense to stop the spread of the coronavirus. It is imperative to find out how many people are infected to gain knowledge and implement necessary measures to eliminate to the best of our ability contamination due to human to human transmission.

Without sufficient numbers of test kits, the best must be done to test based on using risk assessment measures.

Testing will allow experts to gain vital knowledge on the behavioral pattern of the virus — its dynamic and rate of transmission. This will enable obtaining a necessary understanding of the scope and intensity of the spread of COVID-19 over time and demographics. COVID-19 testing of all will allow for measuring the effectiveness of the implementation of the different control measures to mitigate this coronavirus.

The primary dependent variables to quantify empirically by testing is the rate of the intensity of the outbreak of COVID-19. The term R0 “R naught” refers to the reproduction number, or the…
