Effectiveness of Frequent Point-of-Care Molecular COVID-19 Surveillance in a Rural Workplace: Nonrandomized Controlled Clinical Trial Among Miners
Our findings establish frequent point-of-care molecular workplace COVID-19 surveillance as a feasible option for keeping essential rural workplaces open and preventing SARS-CoV-2 spread. These findings extend beyond this study, providing valuable insights for designing interventions to maintain employees' safety at other essential workplaces during an infectious disease outbreak.
