The article explores why Covid-19 testing should be considered a public health tool for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV- 2), and controlling its transmission by investing in large-scale testing capacity. Topics include dominated and confused decision-making with regard to testing and the evaluation of tests is unsuitable; and identifying patients by performing test on symptomatic patients or asymptomatic individuals who are at high risk of infection.
