Rapid antigen detection tests (#RADTs) that can be used as self-tests to detect #SARSCoV2 are becoming increasingly available on the EU/EEA markets.
These tests require individuals to collect a specimen, conduct a test and interpret the results by themselves.
At the time of writing this document, there were only a few #RADTs available for self-testing, and there was none CE-marked on the EU market in compliance with Directive 98/79/EC.
This document outlines the public health considerations for incorporating #RADT#COVID19 self-tests into national testing strategies by public health authorities in the EU/EEA.
#Listeriosis is a foodborne disease caused by L. monocytogenes bacteria. After ingestion via contaminated food, it can cause severe, life-threatening disease, often manifested as #septicaemia and/or #meningitis.
The severe disease happens particularly among elderly & immunocompromised people. It also may result in complications related to pregnancy.
#RiskAssessment 22.01
• potential impact of #nCoV2019 outbreaks is high;
• further global spread is likely;
• moderate likelihood of infection for EU/EEA travellers visiting #Wuhan;
• moderate likelihood of detecting cases imported into EU/EEA;
