None of us want to spread coronavirus to our friends, families, colleagues, or community. With COVID-19 information constantly changing, how do you know when you need to get tested in order to stop the spread?

The COVID Risk Quiz helps support your decision-making process.

You tell the Quiz:

  • The number of people you’ve been in contact with during the past week.

  • The number of people you plan to be in contact with during the coming week.

The Quiz combines that information with other inputs and information about the COVID-19 situation in your area and lets you know if you need to get tested.

Because COVID-19 information is constantly changing, it can be very overwhelming. As a result, researchers face the challenging task of understanding how recommendations and testing strategies work together to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in unique environments.

The Workplace Testing Planner solves this problem by bringing together the latest testing strategies into an innovative modeling tool that demonstrates how using masks, implementing contact tracing, limiting unmasked group activities, and testing can minimize the spread of COVID-19.

For those interested in the model behind the Planner, the article Simple Control for Complex Pandemics: The Impact of Testing and Contact Tracing on Heterogeneous Networks presents the model in detail. The short video below also explains how the Planner was developed and the science behind it.
