The lay self-tests do not require unpleasant penetration into the back of the nose and throat. A swab from the front nose is enough. The stick with the smear is held in a liquid, a few drops of this liquid are then dripped onto a plate in which the test strip is located. As with a pregnancy test, the result will be visible on the strip after a waiting period of 15 minutes. The quick test shows whether there are antigens against corona in the body and whether there is an infection. If the result is positive, a PCR test must be carried out afterwards.
The self-tests and the ongoing vaccination campaign are important steps, according to Berset, so that loosening can soon be possible and normality can be returned to.
