What is a lateral flow test?
A lateral flow test involves taking a nose & throat swab, and instantly analysing the sample using a lateral flow testing kit. The kits looks very similar to a home pregnancy test.
The kit detects the Covid-19 antigen, which is produced when a person is infected with Covid-19. If the antigen is present, then a coloured strip on the testing kit will appear to show a positive result.
