Translating COVID-19 facts and speaking the language of diverse community members.
July 23, 2020
When it comes to COVID-19 testing, there has been a lot of confusion among members of the public. Molecular testing and serology testing. One test determines whether you have the disease, another determines if you had it and now have antibodies that offer some protection.
These distinctions can be even more confusing for some community members when communicated in their second language.
Mayo Clinic locations serve communities where many other languages are spoken, and it's critical that community members get the information they need in their language, especially during a pandemic.
