Health Technology Wales publishes evidence review of COVID-19 diagnostics

Health Technology Wales (HTW) has undertaken a first major review of evidence about the effectiveness of tests to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus or antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 to inform COVID-19 diagnosis.

This review sets the context for decision makers in Welsh Government, health and social care. It aims to assist their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and facilitate evidence-informed decisions.
