Put to the test: use of rapid testing technologies for covid-19
Alex Crozier and colleagues look at how new technologies can be most appropriately used to support different testing strategies and examine the benefits and risks
SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Testing: The Tower of Babel
TLDR
The use of pooled testing and testing with rapid antigen tests when planning population-wide screening, and the weekly use of rapid tests for close periodic monitoring in low-prevalence populations are advocated.
COVID-19 Serial Testing among Hospitalized Patients in a Midwest Tertiary Medical Center, July–September 2020
TLDR
Serial COVID-19 testing for inpatients with a negative test on admission identified patients during their incubation period and hospital-onset cases, rapidly isolated them, and potentially reduced exposures.
COVID-19 Tests Gone Rogue: Privacy, Efficacy, Mismanagement and Misunderstandings
COVID-19 testing, the cornerstone for effective screening and identification of COVID-19 cases, remains paramount as an intervention tool to curb the spread of COVID-19 both at local and national…
Optimizing testing for COVID-19 in India
TLDR
It is found, surprisingly, that even 100% RAT test regimes should be acceptable, from both an epidemiological as well as a economic standpoint, provided the conditions outlined above are met.

Optimal COVID-19 quarantine and testing strategies
TLDR
A mathematical model was developed to quantify the probability of post-quarantine transmission that varied across a range of possible quarantine durations, timings of molecular testing, and estimated incubation periods and found that testing on exit from quarantine is more effective in reducing probability ofPost-qu quarantine transmission than testing upon entry.
A clinician’s primer on epidemiology for COVID-19
COVID-19 : Air Travel , Public Health Measures and Risk
  • Medicine
  • 2021
TLDR
This summary is intended to provide the scientific foundation to assessing risk related to air travel during COVID-19, and should be read with attention to the date of the latest revision, as the state of knowledge will continue to evolve rapidly.
