A simple algorithm based on initial Ct values predicts the duration to SARS-CoV-2 negativity and allows more efficient test-to-release and return-to-work schedules

2022-04-04

Abstract excerpt

Especially during global pandemics but also in the context of epidemic waves, the capacity for diagnostic qRT-PCRs rapidly becomes a limiting factor. Furthermore, excessive testing incurs high costs and can result in an overstrained work force in diagnostics departments. Obviously, people aim to shorten their isolation periods, hospitals need to discharge convalescent people, and re-employ staff members after infe...
