David A Lindholm et al. Open Forum Infect Dis. .

Abstract

Drive-through coronavirus disease 2019 screening can evaluate large numbers of patients while reducing healthcare exposures and personal protective equipment use. We describe the characteristics of screened individuals as well as drive-through process and outcome measures. Optimal drive-through screening involves rapid turnaround of test results and linkage to follow-up care.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; drive-through.
