Christian Drosten (German virologist, one of the most prominent experts here) has been advocating daily testing of medical workers. This is a slightly easier situation, since you can trust them to swab themselves, and the logistics for collecting samples is already in place.

Can you trust them to swab themselves if their livelihoods depend on them attending work? The testing is only one component there I think.

In Germany, and generally in Europe, yes.

Being off work for such should not result in severe reduction in income unless your income was already high; at least that is the case here in Norway where laid off personnel get 80% of their normal salary up to a limit that is above average salary.
