COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing
When to Take a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT):
If you experience symptoms of a cold, flu, or COVID-19, it is recommended to take a rapid antigen test (RAT). If your test result is positive, even with mild symptoms, it is advised to isolate for 5 days. Remember to report your result in My Health Record for further support if needed.
RAT Test costs:
Contact us or pop in store to find out the cost of our RAT testing kits.
Where to Get COVID-19 Tests:
It's recommended to keep some RATs at home for testing if you or anyone in your household develops symptoms. If you find yourself in a situation without any and experience symptoms, simply give us a call. We can arrange for contactless pick-up by placing the tests on the bonnet of your vehicle if you drive down to our back door on Symons Lane.
How to Use a COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test:
Each RAT kit includes detailed instructions guiding you through the testing process, including swabbing your nose, mixing the swab in liquid, placing drops on the test cassette, and interpreting the results. While instructions are similar across different brands, always refer to the specific instructions provided in your kit.
