The Healgen COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test is intended for the quick detection of COVID-19 antigens. This lateral flow covid test is only meant for use by medical professionals such as nurses and doctors. Healgen Covid-19 Antigen Test is one of only three UK Government assessed Rapid Antigen Tests.
The Healgen COVID-19 Antigen Test has been evaluated with specimens obtained from patients and the results show it has a high overall relative accuracy.
COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease that has killed over 123,000 people in the UK and infected 4.18milion others.
Coronavirus cases are still spreading rapidly, particularly among asymptomatic people. According to the NHS, around one in every three people are asymptomatic, meaning that they have Coronavirus but do not display any symptoms.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock believes that stepping up Covid 19 testing will ‘help break the chain of infections’.
To this end, the government is encouraging everyone who is eligible to order a lateral flow COVID 19 test kit. You can also take a private COVID test if you suspect that you have the virus. According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19’s incubation period is 5-6 days on average, but this can go up to 14 days. Studies show that the virus is most infectious within three days of showing symptoms. The main symptoms of the disease include a new or continuous dry cough, a loss of taste or smell, fatigue, and a temperature or fever. During the acute phase of the COVID-19 infection, antigens are generally detectable in the upper respiratory tract in the nose and throat. Rapid diagnoses of COVID-19 will help healthcare professionals treat patients, control the virus, more importantly, save lives.
