That is an important and interesting question. Until now, we have used rapid tests in a limited way because some, like antigenic tests, are less sensitive than traditional tests. However, there are several types of rapid tests and we must not confuse them.
Rapid tests can still be used, because, if they are administered regularly, they at least allow us to detect the most contagious cases. Additionally, if they are repeated, we will end up detecting all cases. So I am in favour of a strategy that combines rapid testing with comprehensive or random vaccination in the settings where outbreaks are likely.
