| This guide discusses the evolving status of the laboratory testing, reporting, and information management for the [[COVID-19]] disease in the United States (and other parts of the world). It also addresses the disease's history, what makes it difficult to combat, and what diagnostic testing methods are currently available. Additionally, the guide examines that testing workflow, along with the equipment, software, and reporting required by testing labs. It closes with a listing of associated resources, including guidance documents, web portals, and key reading.
