Effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 testing strategies inreducing COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations, and deaths.
Saif-Ur-Rahman KM. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2025;10:CD016192.
[Few studies examine how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) tests assist or hinder efforts to prevent illness, hospitalisations, or people dying. This study found that, due to weak evidence, it is uncertain if testing helps prevent people from getting sick. There isn’t enough research to clearly show the benefits or harms of different types of SARS‐CoV‐2 testing for preventing illness, hospital stays, or deaths.]
