[Pre-print, not peer-reviewed]<\/i> Testing of symptomatic students combined with a random subset of asymptomatic students at the University of Pittsburgh demonstrated a prevalence SARS-CoV-2 infection of 0.4% and a case rate of 232 per 10,000 students, comparable to the case rates of other public urban institutions that implemented mass-testing. The authors suggest that targeted testing, combined with a focus on behavioral mitigation and communication, could achieve a similar but less resource-intensive degree of virus control compared to mass testing.<\/p>\n
