Screening tool: The Coronavirus Rapid test is used as a screening tool. If a person tests positive on the Rapid test, then the result is typically confirmed by running a PCR test. If both are positive, the patient needs to quarantine themselves until symptoms resolve or for 10 days if asymptomatic.
