Extract
A number of antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) for SARS-CoV-2 are now commercially available and can result in rapid decisions on patient care, isolation and contact tracing at the point-of-care [1]. Two Ag-RDTs using nasopharyngeal (NP) swab samples meet WHO targets and are now approved through the WHO Emergency Use Listing procedure [2–4].
