Covid cases fell by a fifth during mass testing pilot in Liverpool, study shows

A mass testing pilot for asymptomatic people was held in Liverpool (Peter Byrne/PA) Detection of coronavirus cases rose by almost a fifth and potentially thousands of new infections were prevented, results of a community testing pilot in Liverpool have suggested. More than 3,200 staff days among key workers, such as those in the emergency services, were saved from being lost to quarantine through a test-to-release scheme, researchers said. New cases of the virus dropped by 21% compared with other areas up to mid-December, the study showed, at which point the spread of the Kent variant made it more difficult to compare areas.

Mass-testing reduces Liverpool Covid-19 cases by a fifth, says study

LONDON (REUTERS) - A mass rapid-testing scheme reduced Covid-19 cases in the English city of Liverpool by more than a fifth, researchers said on Wednesday (July 7), arguing that it was an effective public health intervention despite concerns over accuracy of the devices. The community testing pilot scheme launched in November, and offered everyone in the city tests whether or not they had symptoms, in an attempt to find a new way to use testing to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The study, led by the University of Liverpool with government backing, concluded that community testing led to an 18 per cent increase in case detection and a 21 per cent reduction in cases compared with other areas up to mid-December.
