Impact of varying the frequency of routine PCR testing of residents and staff on the probability of averting an outbreak in a generalized homeless shelter for different R0 values. The probability of averting an outbreak (≥3 infections over any 14-day period) over 30 days was estimated for different frequencies of routine PCR testing from daily (1 day between tests) to monthly (30 days between tests). Generalized homeless shelter defined as 250 residents and 50 staff. Background infection rate in the local community of approximately 120 infections/1,000,000 person-days. SF, San Francisco
