Reported AUROCs by COVID-19 prevalence in the test set COVID-19 prevalence is defined as the ratio of COVID-19 symptom days to all days. The dashed line shows the average prevalence from March 15, 2020, to Dec 31, 2020, in the USA, as reported by Pei and colleagues. Our model is evaluated on three sets of the prospective testing data (FLUVEY): all available data, the subset of patients who report having COVID-19, and the subset of patients reporting illnesses on days 0–3 of symptom onset. Other data are from Mason et al, Merrill et al, Natarajan et al, Quer et al, and Shandhi et al. AUROC=area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
