"At the start of a COVID-19 infection, it may take some days before a rapid antigen test (RAT) can detect the virus, even if a person has symptoms and can infect others."

Multiple negative RAT result but still feeling unwell? Book a PCR test with Book a Swab and get certainty.

Available in Warkworth and Te Atatu.

"The advantage of the rapid antigen test (RAT) is that it's really convenient and you get the results really quickly, but its disadvantage is it's got a much higher false negative rate," Dr Moy said.

"That means you may get a test result, which comes back negative … but, in fact, you actually have COVID."

Rapid antigen tests are more likely to return false negatives than PCR tests, but experts say they are useful for identifying when a person is at their most infectious. So how can they be used in Australia?

Should I get a COVID-19 test?

There are a few things to keep in mind when getting a COVID-19 test. It’s a priority for you to get tested if you have cold or flu symptoms, if you have been identified as a close contact of a positive case, or if you have been asked to get one by a health official. Unnecessary testing could delay results for those who urgently need them.

Common symptoms of Omicron and other variants of COVID-19 are like symptoms of a cold and flu. So, if you have any symptoms, no matter how mild, please self-isolate and get a test. You can find a testing location open near you here: https://www.healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19/.

When visiting a testing centre remember to be kind to the staff. They’re working as quickly and as carefully as they can. We’d like to thank all our COVID-19 testing staff for their part in New Zealand’s defence against the virus. 💛
