I can only give a layman's answer. My understanding is that you would need to reduce the cycles so that you are closer to measuring active virus AND pair that with clinical diagnosis of Covid like symptoms. If we did that we would have a better view of cases worth monitoring.
There is also the issue of how accurate these tests are..my understanding is that is a big unknown as well.
