Practical execution of pool testing. In Approach 1 (‘media pooling’), individual swab samples are collected on site, transported to the testing laboratory, and media are mixed in the laboratory into pools, which are then tested. In Approach 2 (‘swab pooling’), swab samples are pooled together into the same container at the collection site and transported to the testing laboratory, where the media of the pooled swabs are tested.
