What is a Rapid Antigen Test?
The Rapid Antigen Test detects specific proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Unlike PCR tests, which detect viral RNA, antigen tests identify viral proteins. They are valued for their speed and ease of use, though they may be less sensitive than PCR tests, especially in individuals with lower viral loads.
Applications of the Rapid Antigen Test
- Travel Requirements:
- Many travel destinations and airlines require proof of a negative COVID-19 test before departure or entry. The Rapid Antigen Test can provide results quickly to meet these requirements.
- Workplace Screening:
- Employers may use Rapid Antigen Tests for regular employee screenings, especially in high-contact or safety-sensitive environments where timely results are crucial.
- Personal Health Monitoring:
- Individuals who suspect they may have been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms can use the Rapid Antigen Test to quickly determine their infection status.
