The government will conduct rapid antigen tests for coronavirus (Covid-19) in evacuation centers, Malacañang said Tuesday.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said tests will be made available to families displaced by the recent typhoons to avert the possible spread of Covid-19 in evacuation centers.
“Ina-assure ko kayo na in place na ang polisiya na gobyerno na magbigay ng COVID testing sa mga evacuation centers,” Roque said in his televised briefing.
“Ang gagamitin po natin para mas marami at mas mabilis ay ang antigen test sa lahat ng ating mga evacuation centers,” he added.
An antigen test is a type of diagnostic test designed for rapid detection of the virus that causes Covid-19.
The tests are cheaper compared to RT-PCR and can provide results in minutes.
RT-PCR, however, is the gold standard for Covid-19 testing.
