The increased availability of near-patient multiplex PCR diagnostics poses new questions on how to optimize the paradigm of care for patients with infection. The use of syndromic diagnostics provides an opportunity to bring together microbiologists, clinicians and laboratorians to improve outcomes through fast and insightful diagnoses, particularly in the context of COVID-19. The session will provide four distinct points of view on the topic of syndromic testing
