To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that used a formal decision tree analysis to evaluate the true positives and negatives and the number of RT-PCR tests needed for a comprehensive range of COVID-19 testing strategies for repopulating a university campus. Based on the analysis of TTP, there is no value of willingness to trade off RT-PCR tests for true positive students detected for which Strategy 3 (universal, single RT-PCR testing) was preferred. In summary, strategies that include RT-PCR testing will identify more COVID-19 cases than symptom-based screening, but all approaches will fail to detect a proportion of infected students. ./cache/cord-326130-wm3l1849.txt ./txt/cord-326130-wm3l1849.txt
