The COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigens in nasal swabs from individuals suspected of being infected with COVID-19 within the first 7 days of symptom onset.
Confirmation of positive results is required by contacting your State or Territory Coronavirus testing services to get a laboratory PCR test. A negative result does not mean a person does not have COVID-19. If you have symptoms, you should have a laboratory PCR test and follow medical advice.

▪ The test is less reliable in the later phase of infection and in asymptomatic individuals
▪ Negative results may occur if testing is not performed within the first 7 days of symptom onset
