Keynote Presentation: The Importance of Timing: Managing COVID-19 with Live Q&A

Critical in control of this pandemic is the ability to rapidly identify infectious individuals prior to their ability to infect others. With the introduction of better testing capacity and an understanding of how to use these tests, the current challenge is making sure patients have access to the correct therapies at the right time. A simplified framework for identifying the phases for different therapies and evidence-based application of available therapeutics can greatly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the viral kinetics and impact on testing for patients with COVID-19.
2. Outline available testing options.
3. Be able to apply recognize the right time and the right therapeutic for an individual patient.
