[Photo] 'This Is the Rapid Antigen Test Negative Confirmation' View original image


On the 3rd, after the change in COVID-19 testing methods, a citizen who received a rapid antigen test at the temporary screening site in front of Seoul City Hall showed a negative confirmation to a reporter. The general public will primarily receive rapid antigen tests using self-test kits instead of the existing PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests. Alternatively, expert rapid antigen tests can also be conducted at local clinics such as respiratory specialist clinics. Although the accuracy is lower than PCR, this is intended to meet the increasing demand for testing due to the spread of Omicron. /Reporter Mun Honam munonam@
