Marking a milestone: Shared Hospital Laboratory conducts one millionth COVID-19 test
For communicable diseases, the first step in the line of defence is testing. The quick development and distribution of a test helps with early identification, accelerated treatment, and immediate isolation to prevent the spread. For the COVID-19 pandemic, this was no different – and Shared Hospital Laboratory (SHL) played an instrumental role in this by conducting and processing COVID-19 tests – one million COVID-19 tests to be exact.
