A person testing negative today can become infected tomorrow; testing hundreds of millions of people is cost prohibited, and it limits resources. Environmental testing is a bottom up approach; “if we locate the pollen, we find the bees.”

Identifying the route of virus transmission is impossible, if limitation is person-to-person analysis. An infected person with no knowledge of whom they contracted the virus from likely picked up the virus from a contaminated surface.

Virus Optics is the only comprehensive management system that offers real-time coronavirus environmental testing, monitoring, disinfection, and contact tracing help. Routine testing’s early detection provides the data to eliminate a threat. Contact tracing helps to mitigate the contagion - all in a confidential, HIPPA compliant, managed solution.

“Hot Spots” require more routine testing than “Warm” or “Gold Spot”, and high-traffic areas more so than low frequent areas. It requires an analysis to determine testing interval.
