A simple method of estimating the effect of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing-isolation on the restraint of infection of COVID-19 is proposed. The effect is expressed as the ratio{chi} of the reproductive number to that in the case that no isolation measure would be taken. The method was applied in the case of the third infection wave (from December, 2020 to February, 2021) of Hiroshima and Fukuoka in Japan. The ratio{chi} was estimated to be 0.78 to 0.84 and 0.86 ...
