Title: Efficient high throughput SARS-CoV-2 testing to detect asymptomatic carriers Document date: 2020_4_20
ID: bby9hls2_27
Snippet: P-BEST is best suited for screening asymptomatic populations, in which the carrier frequency may be sufficiently low to allow efficient detection. Such scenarios include routine screens of healthcare workers and staff in nursing homes, as well population screens in different regions to identify new hotspots of the SARS-CoV-2 spread as early as possible. We note that additional pooling designs may be implemented to estimate the carrier frequency o.....
Document: P-BEST is best suited for screening asymptomatic populations, in which the carrier frequency may be sufficiently low to allow efficient detection. Such scenarios include routine screens of healthcare workers and staff in nursing homes, as well population screens in different regions to identify new hotspots of the SARS-CoV-2 spread as early as possible. We note that additional pooling designs may be implemented to estimate the carrier frequency of SARS-CoV-2 in a given population, that may identify the specific scenarios in which P-BEST will be useful.
