Evaluation of Real-life Use of Point-of-care Rapid Antigen Testing for SARS-CoV-2 in Schools (EPOCRATES): a cohort study

Abstract

Rapid antigen detection tests did not perform well compared with PCR in asymptomatic individuals. Reinforcing policies for symptom screening when entering schools and testing symptomatic individuals with RADTs on the spot may avoid subsequent substantial exposures in class.
