Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic has struck the world, people have been under isolation, closed indoors, and under severe instructions. At that time, the idea of self-testing at home did not exist and people had to stand in long queues for taking tests. There was a long waiting time to know whether they have tested positive or negative.

The concept of self-tests was introduced as society opened and there was a surge in the spread of infection. The demand for COVID-19 home test is more than it was expected. Sales have increased and now most individuals opt for a home test if they experience any kind of symptoms for COVID-19.

Why perform Corona self-test?

The self-test of COVID-19 is an easy and quick test where you get results within 15 minutes. The test indicates if you have tested positive so that you can start taking precautions and avoid infecting others. As most people do not get symptoms even after getting diagnosed with COVID-19 infection, you can take the test at home without any symptoms.

There are many uses of self-test and can be used in different situations:

  • You have symptoms and wish to check whether the symptoms are of a viral infection
  • If you have come in contact with someone who was already infected or showed symptoms
  • Self-test can be used as a preventive measure before participating in activities with other people

Rapid test for coronavirus

There are several options for at-home tests that include rapid tests that will give you results at home within minutes. These are antigen tests that look for molecules that are found in the COVID-19 virus. You take your nasal swab and test yourself to get results in minutes.

ISHOP offers you Newgene COVID-19 selvtest which is a highly sensitive antigen test, marked by CE and approved by EU.  This home-test kit comes with a membrane that is pre-treated with extremely sensitive antibodies. The antibodies react with the nasal swab and detect the presence of SARS COV-2 protein.

Limitations of the self-home test

Although a self-test is quick and easy to perform that indicates if you are infected or not. However, a self-test does not give a final result and cannot be used as the only method of testing for coronavirus. Getting a positive result means you need to follow the guidelines of the health department. You will be recommended to go for a test from an approved site.

Getting a negative response after taking the self-test does not rule out that you are not infected with the COVID-19 virus. If you have symptoms or feel you might be infected then you must follow the guidelines.

A home test cannot be approved documentation for obtaining a proper corona certificate. Self-tests are just an indication of whether you are infected with the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, if you need a proper document for your negative result needed for traveling or so on, then you need to get a proper corona test under public or private health care centre. If you need a Covid-19 test administered by a health care professional, consider an in-home testing service in your search for urgent care near me in Los Angeles. These practices will send a healthcare professional to your home to administer Covid-19 tests
