COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Training

Diagnostic testing is a critical component of the COVID-19 response, as it can be used to:

• confirm infection in patients who fulfil COVID-19 clinical criteria

• rapidly screen suspected cases (especially in community settings)

• screen for infection in asymptomatic contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases

• All of the above

The following covers type of test used in COVID19 response except;

• Molecular test

• Antigen test

• Slide agglutination test

• Antibody test

SARS-CoV-2 Antigen RDTs must meet the minimum performance requirements of ?

• ≥80% sensitivity and ≥97% specificity

• ≥70% sensitivity and ≥97% specificity

• ≥90% sensitivity and ≥80% specificity

• None of the above

The following is not the advantage of using SARS-CoV-2 Antigen RDTs

• Easy to perform

• Give rapid results

• Help expand testing and decrease delays in diagnosis

• Requires Biosafety level 3 to preform

When is not appropriate to use SARS-CoV-2 Antigen RDTs ?

• To respond to suspected cases in facilities where molecular testing is not available

• To support outbreak investigations

• To detect positive cases in health facilities communities with widespread transmission

• In screening prior to blood donation

When do the test error occur when performing SARS-CoV-2 Antigen RDT testing ?

• Before Testing

• During Testing

• A and B

• After Testing

• All of the above

The following are consequences of false positive SARS COV-2 results except

• Unnecessary quarantine

• Stigma

• Psychological distress

• Unnecessary use of limited resources on contact tracing.

• Non of the above

The following PPE must be won before sample collection except ?

• Non-sterile gloves

• Disposable gown

• Laboratory shoes

• A and B

• A and C

The following disinfectant is not active against SARS-CoV-2

• 1% Sodium hypochlorite

• 0.1% Sodium hypochlorite

• 70% Ethanol

• A and C

• None of the above

The result of any diagnostic test does not depend on quality sample received

• True

• False
