The Ministry of Health is in the process of adopting the ‘Rapid Test’ (the Rapid Antigen Test) through pharmacies and laboratories in light of the rapid spread of the “Corona” virus and the mutated “Omicron”, saying the rapid test has become more important to help contain the spread, by detecting the infection very quickly at an early stage.

Informed sources told Al-Rai the test through pharmacies and laboratories will be linked to the Health Ministry’s automated system to monitor any new infection or suspected case saying the Ministry is working to provide appropriate quantities of tools for such tests.

The sources pointed out the health authorities generally encourage the use of the rapid examination at home, as a matter of reassurance in the event of doubts about any symptoms, or before attending any social occasion and participation in family gatherings or visits to the elderly, especially since its results are considered highly accurate to some extent.
