Comparative analyses of eighteen rapid antigen tests and RT-PCR for COVID-19 quarantine and surveillance-based isolation

Comparative analyses of eighteen rapid antigen tests and RT-PCR for COVID-19 quarantine and surveillance-based isolation

Wells et al. use mathematical modeling to compare quarantine duration, testing frequency, and false-positive rate for 18 rapid antigen (RA) and RT-PCR tests. They show that the relative effectiveness of RA and RT-PCR tests in reducing post-quarantine transmission depends on the quarantine duration,...
