Switzerland is making sure it will be ready in case of another pandemic.
It has just opened a new centre for monitoring epidemics in Bern.
The Centre for Pathogen Bioinformatics will monitor the spread of pathogens by analysing waste water, a technic perfected during covid, and analysing the gene sequencing of microbes.
The information collected will be used to determine the spread, the chances of an epidemic and shared with researchers and decision makers.
While the centre will be in Bern – it will be managed by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics which is based in Lausanne.
