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.
