Group testing for SARS-CoV-2 allows for up to 10-fold efficiency increase across realistic scenarios and testing strategies
Background: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, demand for diagnostic testing has
increased drastically, resulting in shortages of necessary materials to conduct the tests and …

How could a pooled testing policy have performed in managing the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic? Results from a simulation study
A coordinated testing policy is an essential tool for responding to emerging epidemics, as
was seen with COVID‐19. However, it is very difficult to agree on the best policy when there …
