The newest tech for COVID-19 testing is just around the corner. Here's what's in store

COVID-19 numbers continue to be near their lowest levels since the beginning of the pandemic more than two years ago. But physicians and researchers are anticipating a likely increase in cases and some degree of further spreading as the summer and fall seasons arrive.
