Please note, COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests only provide preliminary test results, as they are not as accurate as a standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Negative test results do not exclude infection with COVID-19 19 (so masks, social distancing and good hygiene practice must be maintained). Positive test results or symptomatic persons require immediate confirmatory testing with a PCR test. Appropriate PPE and hygiene practices must be in place. Rapid Antigen point-of-care tests are NOT available for home use/self-testing, and must only be used by health practitioners or persons under their supervision who have been adequately trained in the correct use of the test device and the interpretation of the test results.
