A copy of Fig. 3 using a Ct value of 25 (instead of 37) to classify a test as positive or not. This is instructive of how a lateral flow test (LFT) might perform as they seem to be less sensitive to infections with lower viral loads than PCR tests. In c and d, the probabilities of detection are now considered with a 0-day delay since LFTs give results within minutes that can be passed on to the person being tested quickly
