Due to species barriers and poor adaptability to new host environments, few pathogens cause global pandemics. But, SARS-CoV-2 is one exception with its high transmissivity and delayed onset of symptoms. Fortunately, the world was able to tap on the technologies especially the maturing RT-qPCR designed to combat SARS to launch an initial offensive on SARS-CoV-2. These initial efforts may have bought time for scientists to develop more refined diagnostic tests that specifically target SARS-CoV-2. This article describes the effort put forth by the biotech industry and academia in Singapore to develop diagnostic tests that aid the early detection of positive cases, and thereby help contain the virus. Direct tests such as RT-qPCR and antigen rapid test profile the virus nucleic acid and surface proteins, respectively. But, of equal importance in case detection and treatment is serological tests that measure the relative abundance of IgM and IgG which is indicative of infection phase and quality of immune response in positive cases. Other tests such as isothermal amplification, CRISPR-based diagnostics and breath tests are also in development or at initial field deployment, and would undoubtedly provide valuable use experience useful for the development of molecular assays to detect and combat the next pathogen of global concern.

This study represents a new line of research focused on the potential effects of a hybrid learning model on established health predictors (sleep and activity level) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research explored the correlation between the mode of education delivery (online vs. in-person classes) to the students’ sleep duration and activity level. Current literature supports the paradigm that lower physical activity leads to negative health outcomes. At the time of this writing, there was a lack of scientific knowledge on the pandemic-produced ratio of online courses taken per day and face-to-face classes taken per day and how those differences may affect sleep duration and activity levels of college students. The results of this study showed an inversely correlated relationship between the utilization of a HyFlex (online and in-person delivery mode) learning model and students’ activity level. For each additional online class a student took in a given day (when compared to the same student going to in-person classes) the amount of mild activity decreased by nearly 7 minutes (b = − .115, p < .001). This research also found that taking online classes had the same effect on vigorous activity levels, decreasing the time spent in activity by 2.1 minutes for each online course taken on any given day (b = − .035, p = .020). This relationship between online learning and activity level is important in understanding the potential negative effects on physical health for college students as educators try to deliver a robust learning experience via online education both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
这项研究代表了一个新的研究方向,重点是在COVID-19大流行期间,混合学习模型对既定健康预测指标(睡眠和活动水平)的潜在影响。这项研究探讨了教育交付模式(在线与面对面的课程)与学生睡眠时间和活动水平之间的关系。目前的文献支持这种范式,即体力活动减少会导致负面的健康结果。在撰写本文时,关于每天在线课程和每天面对面课程的比例以及这些差异如何影响大学生的睡眠时间和活动水平,还缺乏科学知识。本研究结果表明,HyFlex(在线和面对面交付模式)学习模式的使用与学生的活动水平呈负相关关系。在某一天,学生每多上一节在线课程(与参加面对面课程的学生相比),轻度活动的时间就会减少近7分钟(b = -)。115, p < 0.001)。这项研究还发现,参加在线课程对剧烈运动水平也有同样的影响,在任何给定的一天中,每上一门在线课程,运动时间就会减少2.1分钟(b = -)。035, p = .020)。在线学习和活动水平之间的关系对于理解对大学生身体健康的潜在负面影响非常重要,因为教育工作者试图在COVID-19大流行期间和之后通过在线教育提供强大的学习体验。
