Description
A rapid antigen lateral flow test for SARS-CoV-2, listed under a name that refers to testing on day two after arrival in the UK, a requirement that applied to travellers at certain points during the pandemic. A swab sample is taken as directed, placed in the supplied buffer, and applied to the test device, with the result read within the stated time.
The test detects viral proteins and indicates current infection only. It does not detect antibodies, past infection, influenza or other infections, a negative result does not rule out COVID-19, and no result replaces clinical assessment. Check the current UK entry rules before buying a test for travel purposes.
