    Abstract Objective: to compare differences in COVID-19 testing rates and rates of positive test results between Veterans with and without SMI and identify the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics affecting COVID-19 testing/results.
    Methods: Cohort study on data from the VA Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW), a data repository from clinical and administrative VA systems. The sample included Veterans who had ≥1 outpatient encounters nationally between 01/01/2019 and 12/31/2020. SMI diagnoses were derived as relevant ICD codes within the calendar years 2019-2020. Non-SMI Veterans were matched to SMI Veterans by age, gender, race and ethnicity for comparisons.
    Results: The study included 1,018,047 Veterans, 339,349 had a diagnosis of SMI, and 83% were male. In unadjusted analyses, Veterans with SMI were more likely to receive testing for Covid 19 than non-SMI, however after adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, region, and service utilization, Veterans with SMI were 6% less likely to receive testing for Covid 19 than non-SMI, with differences by type of SMI diagnosis: patients with psychosis (9.8%, P = .008) and schizophrenia (12.2%, P < .0001) were significantly less likely to receive an order for testing, compared to controls. Veterans with SMI were also less likely to receive a positive test result compared to controls.
    Conclusions: Differences in access to testing exist across a nationally representative sample of US military Veterans with and without SMI. The finding that individuals with SMI are less likely to receive a positive test result can help reduce stigma.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant patient and provider safety concerns, notably for clinicians involved in aerosol-generating procedures. Healthcare systems established new and innovative ways to function safely and maintain operations, including mandatory preoperative testing, changes to patient scheduling, infection control practices, staffing, surgical prioritization, environmental cleaning, and operating room processing. This article provides practice and policy considerations for preprocedure COVID-19 testing, taking into consideration the available evidence and variability in community prevalence, rate of vaccinations, and new COVID-19 variants.

    Abstract COVID-testing was central to control the spread of infection in Denmark. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, we show that testing was not just a diagnostic sign; it was also a biosocial practice that enacted a public health morality, centered on responsibility, care, and belonging. We argue that testing led to a public healthicization of everyday life, as it moralized individual and collective behavior and created a moral divide between the tested and the untested. By attending to COVID-19 testing as a material-semiotic sign, we show how testing is embedded within a particular cultural and moral framework of the Danish welfare state.

    Abstract Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, are more sensitive for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 than rapid antigen tests (RATS), and are the gold standard for diagnosis of acute COVID-19. However NAATs can remain positive for weeks following infection due to low-level shedding of non-viable viral fragments. RATs (in particular self-testing) are the mainstay of COVID-19 diagnosis due to their convenience, speed and high specificity. The sensitivity of RATs is highest within seven days of symptom onset. A negative RAT result may warrant a NAAT or repeat RAT for confirmation. The presence of spike antibodies is consistent with either vaccination or infection. Nucleocapsid antibodies suggest a previous infection. Serological tests measuring neutralising antibodies that infer immunity are not readily available.
