COVID-19 is transmitted mainly via respiratory droplets. Indirect transmission through contaminated surfaces is also highly possible. The incubation period ranges from two days to two weeks following exposure to the virus, with the majority of cases showing symptoms approximately four-five days following exposure.
The spectrum of symptomatic infection ranges from mild to critical. Though most cases are mild, we still need to get tested to ensure that we are protecting those around us in our family and communities.
That is why our team at Atkins Chemist has sourced Rapid antigen tests that can detect the virus from 5-7 days after the first contact.
How does it work?
Our reliable Roche COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test provides fast results.
A nasal swab test is all that’s required to diagnose active COVID-19 infections. We provide healthcare professional swab testing to make sure that the sample obtained correctly meaning it is highly likely to return an accurate result.
The tests we use are CE-approved for professional use only. The Rapid Antigen Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay aiming to detect specific antigens related to SARS‑CoV‑2 present in nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal samples.
This test can produce results within 15 to 30 minutes of being taken, allowing for the testing process to be undertaken on a mass scale and reduce the strain on the NHS and as well as lowering the risk of infection throughout various communities.
