As many on-campus medical labs across the United States have been mothballed due to the spread of the CCP virus, the cause of the disease known as COVID-19, some remain open and are steadfastly increasing their virus-testing availability and capacity.
Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) started developing their own virus-testing method in December 2019, when a cluster of COVID-19 cases was made known to the world outside China, despite the CCP’s coverup efforts. Washington state’s King County, where UW is located, became ground zero for the pandemic after the first COVID-19 infections on American soil.
