учитывать, принимая решения относительно коррекции масштабных ограничительных мер в области охраны общественного здоровья (таких как, например, ограничение свободы передвижения и повсеместное введение правила о физическом дистанцировании) и одновременного укрепления базового потенциала служб общественного здравоохранения (выявление, изоляция, тестирование и лечение всех пациентов и помещение в карантин всех лиц, с которыми они контактировали), мер личной защиты (гигиена рук и респираторный этикет) и норм личного физического дистанцирования (дистанция между людьми более одного метра).

The speed of developing diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been quite remarkable. Diagnostics have focused on nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) to identify infected individuals in acute-phase disease for timely implementation of mitiga...tion strategies and case management.
