WHY ANTIGEN TESTING?
Antigen testing is the first line in COVID-19 diagnosis in leading emergency departments the world over. Correlation of test results with basic clinical symptoms, and rapid turnaround times of just 15 minutes per test, make antigen tests ideal in keeping hospital wards COVID free. This technology has recently become available to the public and if used correctly, can vastly aid in the safety of institutions.
BENEFITS

Relatively inexpensive
Can be performed far from pathology labs

RAPID ANTIBODY TESTING
Rapid antibody tests detect a persons immunologic response to the virus. This is a finger-prick capillary blood test. Results are apparent within 15 minutes. Useful in identifying people who already had the infection and may no longer be contagious.
LIMITATIONS
Not useful as a screening or diagnostic test.
Can take up to 14 days of clinical infection to show a positive result, often missing the early and most infective phase of the virus.
Some infected people never produce detectable antibodies at all!

RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING
Rapid Antigen testing looks for viral spike proteins. These molecular particles are within the virus itself. This will pick up the virus within nasal mucosa.
LIMITATIONS
Most reliable when they are done on patients who have symptoms of Covid-19. These patients are more Likely to have high amounts of virus In their system, also called a high viral load.
Nasal swabs are uncomfortable and require training or medical personnel.
PCR TESTS
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests. These are the most sensitive tests and the gold standard for testing. They test for viral genetic materials by amplifying viral RNA particles. They are the most sensitive and specific investigation we have access to.
LIMITATIONS
The most costly test option.
Results take from 24 to 48 hours but may be longer in some cases.
Nasal swabs are uncomfortable and require training or medical personnel.
People often test positive for weeks after contagious period, offering little value in infection control.
