Results from COVID rapid antigen home test kits not accepted for travel


Recommended Posts

Seems to me reading some blurb, these tests come with a higher risk of showing a false negative.

 

Although these tests provide quick results, they aren’t as accurate as laboratory tests because they require more of the virus in your sample to report a positive result. Rapid tests come with a high risk of giving a false negative result.

A false negative means the test shows you don’t have COVID-19 when you do actually have it.

Pharmacies in the US has had similar for a year.  Perfect for use if you or family is worried about infection. 

Useless outside of home because no way to prove who actually took the test.

What thick person thought that a home test could allow them to travel needs a brain
