There is a need to develop safe and cost-effective ways to test healthcare workers for COVID19. Here we describe a rapid antigen testing strategy in a cohort of 497 Healthcare workers exposed to SARS-CoV-2 that can be applied by systems facing a surge of COVID19 cases, increased number of exposures in their workforce and limited RT-PCR availability. Our findings support an expanded use for antigen testing beyond its current indication and highlights the importance of further evaluating this modality for the diagnosis of COVID19 on asymptomatic individuals.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
