Abstract
To help accommodate the surge in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) clinical testing due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the decentralization of testing from provincial public health laboratories to regional laboratories and private facilities was necessary. To further support the growing number of test sites in Canada, the National Microbiology Laboratory developed a proficiency test program for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 using nucleic acid amplification tests and administered it under an arm of the Canadian Laboratory Response Network (CLRN). Since its conception in May 2020, CLRN has conducted three proficiency test schemes, from May 2020 to June 2021, and has observed an increase in participation of more than 400%. This article will explore the evolution of CLRN's SARS-CoV-2 Proficiency Test Program and its support of the Canadian pandemic response.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Roman Studies (JRS) has appeared annually for a century, and is widely recognised as the premier UK journal in its field. Peer-reviewed papers on Roman history and Latin literature form the larger part of each issue. Papers on art history and archaeology are also published. The Journal regularly includes major review articles and archaeological surveys, along with one of the widest selections of reviews of recent publications in all scholarly languages. The journal seeks to publish articles with wide implications for our understanding of the Roman world. JRS papers have stimulated debates in fields as diverse as Roman democracy, the scale of the Roman economy, the demographic implications of slavery, and the materiality of the book.
