Evidence suggests that people will be infectious 1-3 days before their symptoms show, with the highest viral loads and infectiousness being at the onset of the symptoms.
The infectiousness then declines over a period and this varies from person to person. Our greatest risk of inadvertently spreading the coronavirus is for that time when we are infectious but not yet showing symptoms. Rapid antigen tests are extremely accurate at identifying people who are infectious. Therefore, regular screening using rapid antigen testing can identify infectious people before they show symptoms and help to remove them from work, sport or social situations.
Pcr and antigen tests are the most common but they work differently. The commonly-used pcr tests can be administered at home (with samples sent to and analyzed in a lab) or they can be performed in a medical provider environment (again, with samples sent to and analyzed in a lab). Results are typically provided 2-5 days after the lab receives the specimens. They’re close to 100% accurate and privately-provided tests usually cost about €130. The rapid antigen tests that we provide can be used in any environment and can be self-administered, with results available in about 15 minutes. They’re 96% accurate and cost as little as €7.
The genrui model is widely available in a number of shops, supermarkets and pharmacies across ireland, retailing at a notably inexpensive price in comparison to other test kits. On wednesday evening (5 january), the hpra confirmed that the genrui model will be removed from sale by retailers on a voluntary basis, with a further investigation to follow. The hpra has received over 550 reports in recent days from irish consumers, noting false positive results associated with the use of the genrui test. Advertisement "rapid antigen tests, like all diagnostic tests, have the potential to provide false negative or false positive results," said a hpra spokesperson.
