10. What is the difference of clinical trials and mass testing?

“Clinical trials are a type of research that studies new tests and treatments and evaluates their effects on human health outcomes. People volunteer to take part in clinical trials to test medical interventions including drugs, cells and other biological products, surgical procedures, radiological procedures, devices, behavioural treatments and preventive care.”

On the other hand, according to science research specialist Joshua Miguel Danac, mass testing is “to have sufficient RT-PCR capacity to enable free and accessible testing for those who need it, i.e., people with possible COVID-19 symptoms (suspect cases), the close contacts or people with exposure, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, frontline healthcare workers who need regular testing, and those in high-risk communities or vulnerable populations. And of course, those tests should have timely results, no backlogs or delays.”
