COVID-19 Test Frequency versus Test Sensitivity in Disrupting SARSCoV-2 Transmission: A Review of Statistical Modeling Simulations
Author(s): Justin Rogers, Laurel Jackson, Adam Buss and Susan H. Gawel*
Objectives: This paper presents a statistical review of modelling simulations for frequency and sensitivity of
COVID-19 testing paradigms.
Methods: We performed a review of preprints and published articles on PubMed from January 1, 2020-March
1, 2021 using the search terms “COVID screening testing”, “COVID testing frequency”, “COVID testing frequency
screening” and “SARS-CoV-2 testing frequency”.
Results: Several authors’ conclusions support the claim that test frequency and test sensitivity both play a role in
reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We highlight the interplay between frequency of testing, test sensitivity and
the speed at which test results are available in our review.
Conclusion: Evidence suggests that sensitivity.. View More»
