Hi Yvonne,
I do not have any statistics, but this should be based on a risk assessment as part of the pre-entry screening process for workers and visitors. RAT testing like all other preventative measures should be scaled based on the community risk level. E.g. during periods of high- risk RATs could be done daily and when risk levels are low, every 72 hours or less based on a risk-based approach.
The same would apply for wearing surgical / P2/N95 masks.
Kind regards
Marlize
