Description
Many people carrying the COVID virus have few or no symptoms, yet they can still spread it, and emergency rooms rarely test them. Judith Leblanc led a large team that ran a trial in eighteen emergency departments across the Paris area in early twenty twenty-one. In turns, each site either kept its usual testing, aimed at the sick and admitted, or added nurse-led testing offered to everyone else who walked in.
The trial covered more than one hundred and thirty-eight thousand visits across both periods. At the added-testing sites, over six thousand symptom-free patients filled in a risk questionnaire, and nurses tested more than four thousand of them. The study weighed whether that extra reach raised the share of infections found among all visitors.
