Strategies for using antigen rapid diagnostic tests to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in low- and middle-income countries: a mathematical modelling study applied to Zambia

2022-06-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Increasing the availability of antigen rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is key to alleviating global SARS-CoV-2 testing inequity (median testing rate in December 2021-March 2022 when the Omicron variant was spreading in multiple countries; high-income countries=600 tests/100,000 people/day; LMICs=14 tests/ 100,000 people/day). However...
