Abstract:
The article analyzed the impact of repeated mass testing on the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is based on data from a nationwide rapid antigen test conducted in Slovakia in the fall of 20XX. After the first round of testing, only areas above the expected test positive threshold were retested. By comparing areas above and below the threshold, we provide evidence that repeated bulk antigen testing can temporarily reduce the number of new infections. The results indicate that mass testing, combined with quarantining positive cases and their contacts, can be an effective tool in mitigating pandemics.
