Reopening Schools Safely in the COVID-19 Pandemic Through the Use of Low-Cost Pooled Surveillance Testing

2021-03-03

Abstract excerpt

Background: The negative impact of continued school closures during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic warrants the establishment of cost-effective strategies for surveillance and screening to safely reopen and monitor for potential in-school transmission. Here, we present a novel approach to increase the availability of repetitive and routine Covid-19 testing that may ultimately reduce the overall viral burden i...
