摘要

在本评论中,我们展示了测试结果的解释如何受到测试可靠性的影响。此外,我们还讨论了测试错误如何影响测试作为遏制疾病传播的工具的使用。我们特别指出,与进行一次昂贵而精确的检测相比,实施可多次进行的廉价和不太精确的检测可能是遏制大流行的更有效方法。

How Sure Can We Be about a COVID-19 Test Result if the Tests Are Not Perfectly Accurate?
In this Commentary, we show how the interpretation of test results is affected by a test’s reliability rate. Moreover, we discuss how test fallibility may affect the use of tests as a tool to curb the spread of a disease. In particular, we show how administering inexpensive and less precise tests that can be conducted multiple times may be a more efficient way of curbing the pandemic than administering expensive more precise tests once.
