Dr. Isaac Turner, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Curative, a next-generation healthcare company that pivoted to COVID testing in March 2020, talks about the predicament we’re in with COVID still on the rise with fewer people testing and the challenge of accessing reliable, real-time COVID data. Isaac talks about why testing is still relevant and just as important as it was in March 2020 and why testing needs to become part of our "new normal" as we enter the next phase of the virus.
