The Rapid Antigen Testing is the Covid test, which is simpler and can be performed easily and quickly using a nasal or throat swab.An antigen test is quick – providing results in minutes. But it has a problem: It is much less sensitive than the PCR test.A larger amount of virus is needed to be present for the test to be positive. This means that the antigen test can sometimes give a false negative, meaning that a negative result is not always reliable.A positive result, suggesting that the virus is present, is normally reliable, although false positives are also more likely with this test than with the PCR test.
