While the scientific debate raged through November, the MAST pilot in Liverpool deployed more than 100,000 Innova tests, which identified about 1,000 positive cases. No results have been formally published, but preliminary data was buried in an appendix to the government’s new mass screening guidelines, which were released on Nov. 30. The report says Innova’s antigen test picked up just 5 of the 10 infections detected by PCR and “more than seven out of 10 cases with higher viral loads, who are likely to be the most infectious.”Nevertheless, Hancock has hailed MAST as a success and credits it with helping reduce the infection rate in the city to about 100 per 100,000; however, the region also implemented strict social-contact restrictions that would have significantly curbed infections anyway.
