According to Ontario’s Ministry of Health guidelines (found here), frequent testing is recommended. For asymptomatic individuals in high prevalence areas (zones identified as yellow/orange/red/grey) specimen collection and screening should be performed 2-3 times per week. In low prevalence areas (green zones), specimen collection and screening should be performed 1-2 times per week.
Rapid antigen testing is recommended for screening purposes and does not diagnose an acute COVID-19 infection. When compared to the PCR test, rapid antigen testing has a higher risk of producing both a false negative and a false positive result and therefore recommended for screening purposes only.
If an individual receives positive results from rapid antigen testing, this must be confirmed with laboratory-based PCR testing to confirm the positive.
