Covid 19 Rapid Antigen Self Tests Are Approved Australia Ifu 333341

This document provides instructions for use of a COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test kit for self-testing. It describes how to perform the test, what the test detects, and how to interpret results. A positive result indicates the likely presence of SARS-CoV-2 antigens but must be confirmed with a PCR test. A negative result does not rule out infection and repeat testing or a PCR test is recommended if COVID-19 is still suspected. The document also answers frequently asked questions about how the test works and potential risks.
