Detection tests are used to directly identify viruses, bacteria or other agents in the body, such as COVID-19, influenza or streptococcus. They are easy to use, fast and are a valuable tool for prevention and rapid diagnosis, at home or in a professional environment.
• How reliable are rapid tests?
Reliable screening tests are highly accurate, especially if used correctly and within the first few days of symptom onset. However, a negative result does not always rule out infection.
• How is a sample taken correctly?
The procedure depends on the type of test (nasal, pharyngeal, saliva). Instructions must be followed closely so that the sample is sufficient and the result is reliable.
• Can I get tested preventively, without symptoms?
Yes, many tests are also intended for preventive screening, especially during periods of outbreak or before contact with vulnerable groups. In case of a positive result, confirmation with molecular testing is necessary.
