Exposure time for uninfected patients. (A) Daily volume of patients who were tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) in the emergency department and remained in the hospital setting until their test results, stratified by standard (light blue) and rapid (dark blue) testing platforms. (B) Boxplot analysis of exposure time of uninfected patients, measured as time from SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test order to first treatment space re-assignment after a negative result, for both standard (light blue) and rapid (dark blue) testing platforms. Median is represented by an orange horizontal line, interquartile range by boxes, and 95% of range by whiskers.
