What is Pool Testing?

Under Pool Testing, if 10 samples of COVID-19 test negative, then it’s an indicator that each one the samples test negative. On the opposite hand, if the samples tested aren’t negative, individual testing is going to be done. Under pool testing, the samples are going to be mixed and tested.
