Despite overall high acceptability and adherence, we identified three implementation challenges that must be addressed for frequent serial testing for COVID-19 to be implemented at scale and have a positive public health impact.

Third, implementation of serial testing strategies must prioritize health equity and protect those most vulnerable to COVID-19.
