- The COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of specific antigens of COVID-19 present in the human nasopharynx
- The test will only determine whether the person being tested has COVID-19 at the time, not whether they have had COVID-19 previously
- Enables fast decision making e.g. whether patients need to be put in quarantine, reducing the risk of further spreading
- In addition to that it allows for screening of individuals after confirmed exposure to a COVID-19 infected person or individuals at risk of exposure such as healthcare workers
