The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will host a live webinar to review the latest guidance on clinical testing for influenza, including situations when influenza and SARS-CoV-2, a deadly virus that can lead to COVID-19, are co-circulating in a community. Presenters will discuss the meaning and potential use cases of Ct values for SARS-CoV-2 testing, the value of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing in public health compared to clinical practice, and the clinical test ordering and utilization for seasonal influenza in the context of SARS-CoV-2 co-circulation.
