COVID-19 “mass testing” and “rapid processing” are often mistaken as one process. While the two are correlated and partly overlapping each other, they are different in terms of processing and implementation. Mass testing is related to the size factor, while rapid processing is mainly related to the time factors. The former is mainly based on testing coverage of a larger population when and where infected clusters are found. At the same time, the latter must be understood as the rapid process of testing and verifying the situation for the suspects of potential positive cases. The two differ in how the pandemic could be contained at smaller or even larger scales. In this opinion article, we delve into this discourse to discuss the differences between the two.
