Product Description
PHE APPROVED – Abbott’s COVID-19 PCR Swab Testing Kit for Current Symptoms
Specificity 100%
Sensitivity 98%
The PCR test detects the presence of Covid -19 viral RNA and is most appropriate during the earliest stages after exposure to the virus, and should be undertaken when someone suspects they have Covid-19, or if they believe they have been recently exposed to it. The scientific consensus is that the virus can stay in your nose and throat for 14 days but it can be shorter or longer in some people.
