Abstract

In a recent article, the researcher asked if people’s behavior after receiving negative COVID-19 tests contribute to the spread of the virus. It was discussed that even though testing mitigated the coronavirus spread, false confidence among those who have negative results contributed to the spread of the virus. This article, then, proposes that there is a need for mass testing for new virus variants and a foundation for proper behavior after testing.
