Key Points Question What is the acceptance and feasibility of different methods of twice weekly SARS-CoV-2 monitoring in asymptomatic children and childcare workers in day care centers? Findings In this nonrandomized controlled trial and feasibility study with 452 children and 139 childcare workers, self-sampled surveillance testing via saliva sampling and/or nasal rapid antigen self-test for SARS-CoV-2 was well accepted and provided a high sense of safety. Meaning These findings suggest that self-sampled continuous testing allowing continued day care for children should be established based on age-adjusted SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates.
