FDA Fact Sheet - Screening for COVID-19 Deciding Which Test to Use When Establishing Testing Programs
The FDA fact sheet “Screening for COVID-19: Deciding Which Test to Use When Establishing Testing Programs” explains how screening of asymptomatic individuals differs from diagnostic testing and why tests have specific authorized use claims. It provides practical guidance for schools, workplaces, and communities on selecting tests, including considerations around sensitivity, turnaround time, pooling, serial testing, and interpreting presumptive negative results. It is useful for designing screening programs that align test performance with public health goals and mitigation strategies.
