Preparing for Respiratory Season

• September 1

With respiratory illnesses on the rise and a recent surge in Covid-19 cases, it has become more important than ever to exercise care when dealing with exposure to potential respiratory pathogens. Especially with school back in session, it is easy to be vulnerable to what's going around. There is a high risk probability of large outbreaks during the autumn and winter seasons of the northern hemisphere for SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), influenza virus (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).¹

PCR testing is a great way to take out the guesswork and test for multiple viruses and coinfections at one time. Advanta Genetics offers the Advantage Respiratory Panel and tests for a number of viruses, bacteria, and antibiotic resistance genes with a turnaround time of only 24 hours.
