Evaluating pooled testing for asymptomatic screening of healthcare workers in hospitals

2023-08-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> There is evidence that during the COVID pandemic, a number of patient and HCW infections were nosocomial. Various measures were put in place to try to reduce these infections including developing asymptomatic PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing schemes for healthcare workers. Regularly testing all healthcare workers requires many tests while reducing this number by only testing some healt...
