Testing strategy considerations in low- and high-prevalence areas accounting for testing and PPE availability. Highest level of PPE includes N95/N99 respirators and PAPRs, along with a face shield. A hotspot is defined by a surge in COVID-19 cases with an acute burden on hospital capacity. In limited PPE settings, extended use and reuse of N95/N99 respirators can be considered.
