What you need to know about rapid COVID-19 tests?
So that the pandemic retreats faster, scientists and medics recommend as wide a testing of the public as possible. The AND team takes your health very seriously, so we call on world-recognised rapid coronavirus antigen and antibody tests to help. What benefit does this method provide to patients and to Lithuanian business?
Why is testing needed?
World practice shows that the greatest danger is posed by virus carriers who feel no symptoms, so medics and scientists recommend expanding preventive testing as much as possible. A fast and reliable test result helps you act promptly and mitigate the consequences of the situation as much as possible, and perhaps even save lives. That's precisely why rapid antibody and antigen tests are an excellent means of preventing the spread of coronavirus infection!
Antigens:
- Protein molecules produced by viruses, bacteria and other organisms;
- The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is made up of these proteins;
- Stimulate the immune response;
Antibodies:
- Form in the body after recovering from an infection;
- Found in the blood;
- Help find out whether you've acquired immunity;
The advantages of rapid tests:
| Indications | The test is effective for everyone: both those feeling coronavirus symptoms and those getting checked for prevention. |
|---|---|

| Answer | Immediately or the same day |
| Accuracy | The test's accuracy is more than 99%. |
| Sampling method | The antigen sample is taken from the nasopharynx or nasal cavity, the antibody sample from the blood. |
