What does it do?
The novel coronaviruses belong to the β genus. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease. People are generally susceptible. Currently, the patients infected by the novel coronavirus are the main source of infection; asymptomatic infected people can also be an infectious source. Based on the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days, mostly 3 to 7 days. The main manifestations include fever, fatigue, and dry cough. Nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia, and diarrhea are found in a few cases. This test is for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen. Antigen is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. Rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection will help healthcare professionals to treat patients and control the disease more efficiently and effectively.

- Does the test detect COVID-19 variants including Omicron?
-
Yes. The nucleocapsid phosphoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 was used as the main detected target in the Healgen Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test Cassettes (Swab) and Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-tests. This antigen test can therefore be used to detect both wild and mutant SARS-CoV-2 including the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Lamda and Omicron Variants.
