Self-administered Covid-19 antigen testing could allow people to “take control over their own health”, a Government report has found.
The long-awaited report into rapid antigen testing has recommended its use on a trial basis in schools, colleges, workplaces and sporting organisations.
Launching the report on Thursday, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said he fully supported the introduction of rapid testing as an “additional tool” in the fight against Covid-19.
