Utilizing viral test results to determine isolation length would minimize both the risk of prematurely ending isolation of infectious patients and the unnecessary individual burden of redundant isolation of noninfectious patients. Here, the authors develop a framework to compute the population-level risk of different isolation guidelines with rapid antigen tests.
