These are the people processing all those Covid-19 tests, along with all the other normal testing that hospitals and clinics do.
“We just felt like we had work to do, we had to do it as quickly as possible because it was very important for people to get results within hours versus days because it totally affected your life. Whether you could go to work, whether you could take your children to child care, if you could see anybody, like go shopping. We knew there was a very time sensitive need to get test results out to people,” says Rebecca Elder a medical technologist at Mayo Clinic Health System.
