Abstract

The Pandemic COVID-19 poses the major problem in diagnosing which requires skilled technicians and well-equipped infrastructure. To overcome we have evaluated the Standard Q rapid Ag test for SARS-CoV-2 virus from nasal swab at POC sites which was eventually compared with RT PCR as reference assay. A maximum of 505 samples were collected from the patients who visit hospitals and laboratories for different purposes with appropriate consent form. It is found to be that rapid Ag test shows good sensitivity, specificity and predictive value range with RT PCR and it will be also useful in swarm screening and in emergency conditions.
