[Community-health worker-led testing and education at a re-entry-focused community-based organisation could potentially increase uptake of SARS-CoV-2 testing among formerly incarcerated individuals. Further larger trials are required, trusted community health workers can provide onsite point-of-care testing and health education which has relevance for respiratory viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2 and might potentially be applicable to other infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C virus.]
