Testing-isolation interventions will likely be insufficient to contain future novel disease outbreaks

2023-11-21

Abstract excerpt

When novel human diseases emerge into naive populations, identification and isolation of infected individuals forms the first line of defense against the invading pathogens 1,2 . Diagnostic testing plays a critical role 3,4 , but health agencies unprepared for a novel disease invasion may struggle to meet the massive testing capacities demanded by an epidemic outbreak 5 , potentially resulting in a failure of epid...
