Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 infections have an increased risk of developing severe disease and a variety of secondary bacterial or fungal infections, and the types of microbiology testing of specimens vary accordingly. A standardized process of specimen collection and handling contributes to the correct diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19.
