Rapid antigen detection tests for COVID-19: using and reading them well

Drs Cédric Yansouni, Jesse Papenburg, Dick Menzies, and Jonathon Campbell, researchers at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, have developed a modified quick reference guide to facilitate the performance and interpretation of rapid antigen tests for COVID-19 by untrained individuals.

While their findings are being peer-reviewed for publication, the tools they developed can already be used.
