New Lancet paper supports increased LFA testing to reduce quarantine time by half or more.
Quarantine and testing strategies in contact tracing for SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study
Interpretation
Testing might allow for a substantial reduction in the length of, or replacement of, quarantine with a small excess in transmission risk. Decreasing test and trace delays and increasing adherence will further increase the effectiveness of these strategies. Further research is required to empirically evaluate the potential costs (increased transmission risk, false reassurance) and benefits (reduction in the burden of quarantine, increased adherence) of such strategies before adoption as policy.
