Title: Impact of mass testing during an epidemic rebound of SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study using the example of France Cord-id: wsk9od8g Document date: 2021_1_7
ID: wsk9od8g
Snippet: We used a mathematical model to evaluate the impact of mass testing in the control of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Under optimistic assumptions, one round of mass testing may reduce daily infections by up to 20–30%. Consequently, very frequent testing would be required to control a quickly growing epidemic if other control measures were to be relaxed. Mass testing is most relevant when epidemic growth remains limited through a combination of interventions.
