The rapid tests of antigens that are made at home are more precise than thought and are good for detecting people who can transmit the COVID-19 with ease, according to Experts at University College London (UCL, in English).
In the opinion of the researchers, people who give positive when becoming the antigen test (LFT, in English) must “have confidence” in that result and “stay at home”, reports EFE.
After the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020, these tests were not well seen by being considered that they did not contribute accurate results compared to the PCR, much more expensive, which are made in laboratories.
British health authorities recommend a PCR test after giving positive in a LFT test at home in order to confirm if they have Covid-19.
According to that study, the rapid antigen test is 80% effective when it comes to detecting a COVID-19 infection and also detects more than 90% which person is more infectious.

The authorities intend to administer a record of 100,000 doses in a single day during a massive immunization campaign on Saturday.
The United States Government will send 2,4 million doses of the Vaccine Covid-19 to Pakistan this Thursday, with which the total number of doses sent to the country of South Asia amounts to about 18.3 million, rather than any

A study in which the Institute of Environmental Diagnosis and Studies of Water (IDAA), the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations (CSIC) and the University Hospital are Espaseas de Mallorca has revealed that the air of the hallways of the centers
Hospitables can have a higher concentration of coronavirus than the rooms of the infected people.
The results of the study, published in the Environmental Research magazine, could serve to review the ventilation systems of hospitals, improve the quality of its air and prevent health personnel infection.
The authors of the study used a new methodology to measure the presence of the Coronavirus SARS-COV-2 in the air of the hospitals, consists of placing air filters in different hospital facilities: COVID-19 patient rooms and adjacent corridors;
Adjacent corridors both UCI rooms and rooms without patients Covid-19;
and the outside terrace, and its subsequent quantification using the PCR technique.
The research shows that the greatest presence of the genetic material of the virus is found in the hallways adjacent to the rooms of infected patients, and not in the rooms themselves, where ventilation is more efficient.
This finding allows us to conclude that there is a transfer of viruses from the rooms towards the hallways.
The Ministry of Health Seeking to click on the same day but in different arms the flu vaccine and that of Pfizer against the Covid who are 70 years old, something that communities can start doing as of October 25.
