Rapid Antigen (RA) screening for COVID-19 in the workplace is quickly becoming an important tool. RA identifies the asymptomatic or presymptomatic carriers of the COVID-19 virus at a point in their infection where their viral load is high and therefore, they are most likely to be shedding the virus and potentially infecting others.
While RA is less sensitive and won’t identify infected people as early as PCR testing, RA tests are less expensive, have a faster turnaround time, and are effective at detecting COVID-19 when the virus is most infectious, helping to stop the spread and providing a higher degree of confidence to your employees and your customers.
