The proposed research asks how leading countries such as Germany and South Korea configure and use their national diagnostic testing systems for Covid-19 ('testing systems') in order to have relatively low rates of Covid-19 mortality per capita in their populations, to avoid or shorten 'lock-downs', and reduce economic impacts. We will identify the key elements of testing systems that have contributed to effective performance, including measures taken that have facilitated preparedness and resilience before the crisis, as well as those rapid innovations that have helped countries to deal with a fast evolving pandemic. We will explain how testing systems have been used, and how challenges related to testing have been overcome. The research will include the four nations of the UK and five further countries. Additionally, the role of transnational organisations such as the WHO, EU and large diagnostics companies will be studied to understand how tensions have been managed between increasing the quantity of new tests for Covid-19 and maintaining their quality. The project will establish a UK research and knowledge exchange hub to will facilitate dialogue between the international research team and policy makers so that relevant questions are rapidly addressed and lessons are disseminated to policy makers and public audiences, in the UK, and beyond. In order to support COVID-19 responses deliverables will be shared from the early stages of this 12 month project. Additionally to inform preparations for future outbreaks, we will contribute to national and international fora seeking to learn lessons from the current crisis.

拟议的研究询问德国和韩国等领先国家如何配置和使用其国家Covid-19诊断测试系统（“测试系统”），以使其人口的人均Covid-19死亡率相对较低，以避免或缩短“封锁”并减少经济影响。我们将确定有助于有效表现的检测系统的关键要素，包括在危机发生前促进防备和复原力的措施，以及帮助各国应对快速演变的大流行病的快速创新。我们将解释如何使用测试系统，以及如何克服与测试相关的挑战。这项研究将包括英国的四个国家和另外五个国家。此外，还将研究世卫组织、欧盟和大型诊断公司等跨国组织的作用，以了解如何管理增加新冠病毒检测数量与保持其质量之间的紧张关系。该项目将建立一个联合王国研究和知识交流中心，以促进国际研究团队与政策制定者之间的对话，从而迅速解决相关问题，并将经验教训传播给联合王国内外的政策制定者和公众。为了支持COVID-19应对措施，将在这个为期12个月的项目的早期阶段分享可交付成果。此外，为了为今后疫情的准备提供信息，我们将为寻求从当前危机中吸取教训的国家和国际论坛作出贡献。
