Question: What is the best way to conduct viral testing outside the lab?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions about Laboratory Testing and COVID-19
section_headers: For All Laboratories: Accessing Laboratory Testing
Are pathologists able to sign out cases remotely during the COVID-19 public health emergency?
section_content: CMS has indicated that it will allow laboratories to use temporary testing
sites for remote review and reporting of laboratory data, slides, and images
if specific criteria are met. Please refer to this CMS Memorandumexternal
icon for additional information.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Link is broken. You aren't given a full answer here and it's like you are referred out with nothing to stand on. "Specific critera" is too general. To be clear, yet again, link isn't working and is dead. Repair link and maybe it is a beginning.
The answer states that laboratories are allowed to use temporary testing sites to review and report data but it doesn't address the question of HOW to conduct viral testing outside of the lab.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Test for Current Infection
section_headers: How to get a viral test
section_content: COVID-19 testing differs by location. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and
want to get tested, call your healthcare provider first. You can also visit
your
state
or local health
department’s website to look for the latest local information on testing.
Although supplies of tests are increasing, it may still be difficult to find
a place to get tested.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized two viral tests
that let you collect either a nasal swab or a saliva
sample at home. However, you will still need to send your sample to a
laboratory for analysis.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Details here are good, We are given detail, links and contact. It answers the question fully. It is good to know what is and isn't acceptable. It is answered.
This response mostly tells an individual HOW to get tested. The question is asking the best way to conduct testing outside of the lab, not where to go to get tested. The answer does state a nasal swab or saliva sample can be done outside of a lab. The response needs a more concrete answer.

section_headers: Specimen Handling
How should point-of-care testing (POCT) be conducted outside a traditional laboratory?
section_content: For viral testing of specimens conducted outside of a traditional clinical
laboratory, such as rapid respiratory testing, use Standard Precautions to
provide a barrier between the specimen and personnel during specimen
manipulation.

Interim Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines for Handling and Processing Specimens Associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Link works here, Lab testing is detailed some here. It is clear from the link what works and what doesn't. It's very detailed.
The answer gives biosafety guidelines for handling and processing specimens and it provides a sentence of general info about using "standard precautions" but the answer could certainly be expanded upon.
