Implementation of the compulsory universal testing scheme in Hong Kong: Mathematical simulations of a household-based pooling approach

This study aims to propose a pooling approach to simulate the compulsory universal RT-PCR test in Hong Kong and explore the feasibility of implementing the pooling method on a household basis. The mathematical model is initially verified, and then the simulation is performed under different prevalen...
