Simple counts of the daily confirmed cases can be misleading due to constraints from bottlenecks in access to care or laboratory testing. This study aimed to investigate the role of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic test (Ag-RDT) in addressing these challenges for real-time COVID-19 surveillance.enEpidemiological monitoring; Rapid diagnostic tests; SARS-CoV-2[SDGs]SDG3SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen testing positive rate in community testing stations as an indicator for COVID-19 epidemic trend, Taipei, Taiwan, May to August 2021journal article10.1016/j.jfma.2023.10.027380442082-s2.0-85178607170https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85178607170
