Covid-19 RDT

Also known as antigen test, these tests tend to be faster, with results returned as quickly as 30 minutes, but they are less accurate than the RT-PCR test. This means that the test may not detect all infections so there is a chance that some individuals carrying the COVID-19 virus may get a negative result. Similarly, there is also a chance that an individual infected with a virus other than COVID-19, like the virus that causes the common cold, may test positive for COVID-19.

Blood sample is collected & no such specific precaution is required for this test.
