Self-diagnostic tests for Covid-19 allow you to detect the presence of the virus easily, quickly and at home. Their use helps to stop the spread of the virus by helping to identify possible infections immediately.
A Covid-19 antigen test is an at-home test that can use a saliva or nasal mucus sample. It aims to detect active infection by identifying certain proteins associated with the virus. Results are available in as little as 5 minutes, allowing rapid action to be taken.
Covid-19 self-testing tests can be used by anyone, regardless of age. They are suitable for children, adults and the elderly, and are particularly suitable in these situations:
If you have had contact with someone positive for Covid-19.
If you have symptoms compatible with the virus.
If 7 days have passed since a previous positive result (PCR, antigen test or self-test), to check if the organism has already overcome the infection.
These tests detect specific viral proteins and display the result on a small screen with coloured lines:
One red line: negative result.
Two red lines: positive result.
The general procedure for using the test is as follows:
Collect a sample of saliva or nasal mucus, depending on the type of test.
Place the sample in the tube with reagent solution and shake well.
Apply a few drops to the indicated area of the test.
Wait about 5 minutes and read the visual result.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure correct use.
