The Effect of Correlation and False Negatives in Pool Testing Strategies for COVID-19

2020-11-21

Abstract excerpt

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, active testing has risen as a key component of many response strategies around the globe. Such strategies have a common denominator: the limited availability of diagnostic tests. In this context, pool testing strategies have emerged as a means to increase testing capacity. The efficiency gains obtained by using pool testing, derived from testing combined samples simultaneously...
