1/ Is PCR better than RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING?

Here’s the simple answer :

If you want to test to detect for infectious people - accurate Rapid Antigen Testing then RAT tests are the best option - for fast detection & isolation/limit spread

#covid19 @michaelmina_lab 2/ If you want to use PCR tests that are 10 times as expensive and take 1-4 days for a result to find out if you have minute viral fragments but not if you have a high viral load. Go for PCR.
