Show abstract
As record cases due to the Omicron variant are currently registered in Europe, schools remain a vulnerable setting suffering large disruption. Extending previous modeling of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in schools in France, we estimate that at high incidence rates reactive screening protocols (as currently applied in France) require comparable test resources as weekly screening (as currently applied in some Swiss cantons), for considerably lower control. Our findings can be used to define incidence levels triggering school protocols and optimizing their cost-effectiveness.

"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.
