Correlation of population mortality of COVID-19 and testing coverage: a comparison among 36 OECD countries and Taiwan

2020-05-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Although testing is widely regarded as critical to fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, what measure and level of testing best reflects successful infection control remains unresolved. Our aim was to compare the sensitivity of two testing metrics-population testing number and testing coverage-to population mortality outcomes and identify a benchmark for testing adequacy with respect to population mort...
