"You have to really get a good swab because the false negative rate for the current testing is actually pretty high," Zieg told Business Insider. "And that's likely because of sample collection — and that's nurses doing this. So if you put it in the hands of people, I have concerns that the false negative rate sent from home kits will be a challenge." Even with a testing site, you still need people to maintain distance.

For example, you can go to the office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and stay at home the rest of the week.
In an interview with Business Insider, Frankiewicz explained that conversations around the availability of testing is still fairly new, but many companies have talked about conducting temperature checks when people come to work.
