- Abstract
- In Korea, we conducted a national observational study to calculate the positive predictive value of SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests in K-12 schools during the Omicron variant surge in March 2022. The weekly positive predictive value ranged from 86.4% to 93.2%. The positive predictive value was the highest among elementary school students with symptoms (95.7%) and lowest among teachers/staff without symptoms (70.9%).
