Donna Wolk, PhD, Director, Division of Molecular and Microbial Diagnostics and Development, Geisinger, on the home tests for COVID-19. What are the different types of tests, how do they work and are they reliable? Why not use an antibody test too…do they work? What should I do—and not do—if I’m going to do a home test. We’ll learn about Dr. Wolk’s work and research, and her view on the lightning fast speed we have vaccines for COVID, and we’ll get some sound advice on COVID home or PCR tests.
