Is Antigen Rapid Test (ART) accurate?

The ARTs used in the pre-event testing meet the World Health Organisation’s (WHO’s) recommendations and have been evaluated and endorsed by the Ministry of Health . The sensitivity of the ART test kit is at 98.1% and specificity at 99.8%. This means that they will be able to pick up at least 98.1% of individuals who are infected with COVID-19, and will show a result of 0.2% false positives in healthy individuals.
