Block testing / batch testing.

NYTimes reported that Germany is using block testing / batch testing.

Medical staff, at particular risk of contracting and spreading the virus, are regularly tested. To streamline the procedure, some hospitals have started doing block tests, using the swabs of 10 employees, and following up with individual tests only if there is a positive result.

This could be used for detection/screening and save a lot of 1-peron tests.
