Method of Sample Collection - Nasal Swab

• The rapid antigen test comes in handy only while detecting patients who are quite symptomatic. It is also done by collecting samples from the nose or throat with a swab. Though the results can be revealed within 30 minutes, this test is not considered accurate, as it may not read into vital proteins that are part of Coronavirus at the initial stages. Even if your rapid antigen test turns negative, the doctors might recommend you wait for a couple of days, before confirming the presence of infection. If you happen to notice the symptoms of COVID-19, go for an RT-PCR test for better results. In certain cases,doctors will opt that the rapid antigen test needs to be backed by RT-PCR to completely rule out the possibility of infection.
