COVID-19 Serial Testing among Hospitalized Patients in a Midwest Tertiary Medical Center, July-September 2020
2020
We implemented serial COVID-19 testing for inpatients with a negative test on admission. The conversion rate (negative to positive) on repeat testing was one percent. We identified patients during their incubation period and hospital-onset cases, rapidly isolated them, and potentially reduced exposures. Serial testing and infectiousness determination were resource intensive.
